In the cool moist climate of our coastal forests, lichens grow in abundance on everything coloring the trees in a patina. #forestpatina #lichens #ourpnw #hoypuspoint #foresthike #wastateparks #waparksphotoguide #hiwalkerphoto #discoveryournorthwest (at Hoypus Hill)

As Europeans explored the Northwest Coast they were on the look out for the Northwest Passage. They theorized that there was a shorter way between the Atlantic and Pacific than around the southern tip of South America. Capt Vancouver thought he had found that passage here at the north end of Whidbey Island. But that was a deception. #deceptionpass #deceptionpassbridge #deceptionpassstatepark #wastateparks #waparksphotoguide #discoveryournorthwest #hiwalkerphoto #hoypuspoint #ourpnw (at Hoypus Hill)
