Tree of Life/Kalaloch Beach

From Beach 4, I drove down to the day use area in the Campground at Kalalock in Olympic National Park, to see the "Tree of Life" . The ground beneath the tree has been eroding away and the tree clings to the beach cliffs on either side

Kalaloch Beach

After spending most of the day at Ruby Beach, we drove down to Kalaloch Beach and walked a short ways down onto the beach to see the "tree of life", play in the sand and fly kites. Beautiful way to end our day!

For a well rounded day on the North Pacific Coast, we headed south to Kalaloch Beach to see the "Tree of Life". We parked in the day use parking area near the entrance to the Campground and did the short walk down to the beach. Pano of Kalaloch Beach.

We brought our kids camping here many years ago. This is one of our favorite beaches.

It was intersting to see how quickly the clouds moved in and out on the coast.

The Tree of Life is a very short walk to the north.

It's amazing how this tree clings to life with so many exposed roots as the ground under it erodes away.
