Sea stack through Hole in the Wall
HalfCenturyHiker
What a spectacular experience. My son and I hiked to Hole in the Wall on the north coast of the Olympic Peninsula, 2 miles north of Rialto Beach. The weather was awesome and we were able to sleep out under the stars without the rainfly on. We went down to catch a very low tide and photograph the sealife in the tide pools and the sea stacks. We enjoyed a wonderful fire in the evening and arose early in the morning to catch the sunrise and low tide. There will be another low tide (the last until next year) on June 15th and 16th around 8:00 in the morning. I would highly encourage you to make the trek, especially if you can stay over night.

We lucked out with a beautiful day! These are a couple of sea stacks on the way to Hole in the Wall, each over 200 feet high!

We cleared out a spot for our Half Dome Plus 2 and slept out under the stars. What an awesome experience.

Lots of sea life in the tide pools. Head down there in June for another low tide!
