Trip Was a hike 18 miles up the " Hoh River" through rain forest ( which can get up to 150 inches of rain a year! ) and a chance to climb Mt. Olympus which is the highest peak in the Olympic Mt. Range. I didn't summit the mountain ,but three on the trip did. ( Loren, Joan And Jonathan" I must say my " Rock " climbing skills are a bit weak too weak, but I was happy to get up to the " Snow Dome " at 7,200' only 800 or so short of the summit Spire. Awesome trip with 7 great people...
