Staircase Rapids Hike

After a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with my family and friends we spent the next day hiking and trying to find some snow! We headed to the Olympic National Forest with the same friends that we celebrated turkey day with and explored around Lake Cushman and hiked the Staircase Rapids loop trail.  It was cold out, but the scenery was amazing!  We found some snow and ice with plenty of green moss and amazing trees as well. It was wonderful!  The river was an amazing crystal blue/green color and we had a great time hiking all around.  We had a little lunch and hot cocoa at the end.  It was a prefect way to celebrate Black Friday!
