DAY 5: Thursday, May 30 - Long Beach and Rainforest Walks

We spent today in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.  First stop was Long Beach.  While walking here we saw an eagle. 

Then we went for a rainforest walk.  

In the evening we went for another rainforest walk to see some ancient cedar trees.  We extended the walk along the coastal Wild Pacific Coast trail to Rocky Point.  Near Rocky Point we saw an unusual rainbow.

During the day, we drove across the 49th parallel.  The Oregon Treaty of 1846 between the United States and Great Britain established the 49th parallel as the border between the United States and British North America - with the exception of Vancouver Island.
