The Enchanted Valley is on the upper section of the East Fork of the Quinault River valley. This chalet was built back in the 1930’s and has been relocated several times to move it away from the river. There are plans to move it to a safer location … since the river keeps changing its banks. (It’s always interesting in the early summer to hear if the chalet has made it through another winter)
There is no camping allowed in the chalet itself … and I wouldn’t want to share it with all the mice, anyway. The valley has heavy usage with many people either hiking in and back out, or continuing up the valley, across Anderson Pass and down the West Fork of the Dosewallips. One of the easier hikes across the Olympic National Park.

This looks so lovely and inviting, Allan. I am glad it made it through another winter. I hope you have a lovely Easter tomorrow.
Thanks, Lynne. Actually, the spring floods are one of the big risk times. So I still have my fingers crossed.
A peaceful place to live, I like it so much.
