Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the state of Washington. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles south of the town of Forks. Like virtually all beaches on the northern coast, Ruby Beach has a tremendous amount of driftwood. It is notable for the number of sea stacks there. The beach is so called because of the ruby-like crystals in the beach sand.—Wikipedia This image was processed as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition.

The Hoh Rainforest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington state. It is one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S. Within Olympic National Park, the forest is protected from commercial exploitation. This includes 24 miles of low elevation forest along the Hoh River. The Hoh River valley was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers. Between the park boundary and the Pacific Ocean, 30 mi of river, much of the forest has been logged within the last century, although many pockets of forest remain.—Wikipedia
