Rialto
beach is located in the middle of the Olmpic National Park´s coastal
strip. It is seperated from the Quileute Indian Reservation by the Quillayute
River. Rialto is known for its estuary views where sea lions, Bald Eagles,
pelicans, osprey and elk frolic. The estuary at Rialto has lovingly been
nicknamed the temperate version of the Florida Everglades for its river
delta landscape and the magnificent shades of green it produces. Kayak
tours are run on a regular basis through this beautiful hidden area. The
Pacific side of Rialto Beach is very rugged and has great views of sea
stacks. A favorite hike on the peninsula is Rialto to Ozette, a long and
tough journey though well worth the memories one returns with.. |
