Twilight Fan or looking for a good drive? Head to Forks!!

I took my niece Kierra a huge twilight fan (ok I am too) out to Forks for the day, we really enjoyed the drive and the local tourist attractions. We went out to the coast via Aberdeen and headed up hwy 101 thru the Olympic National Forest, past beautiful Lake Quinault and the Hoh Rainforest. It was a typical rainy day but we stopped in Kalaloch to stretch and enjoy the pounding surf off the ocean. The local chamber of commerce received 180,000 visitors last year and hands out maps with Twilight attractions and shares information about the books and movies. Once in Forks there are numerous Twilight themed stores to shop in and all of the local restaurants feature Twilight menu items. Before Twilight, Forks was known as the logging capitol of the world. There is a Loggers Museum and huge monument dedicated to the loggers who have lots their lives in the pursuit of the giant trees that grow there. It was sad and surprising just how many loggers are still dying in that industry. Forks is also a very popular sport fishing destination with several major rivers flowing out of the Olympics. They are known for giant King Salmon and winter Steelhead. If you stay overnight you would be close to La Push and Port Angeles which were also featured in the books and movies. I plan on a return trip sometime this summer.
