We start at the south portion of the canal and made our way north along the western shore. The Hwy skirts just along the canal for 10s of miles, with great views of the Olympic Mountains, the hood canal and the terrain across the canal on the Tahuya peninsula.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-Few-Houses-on-the-Shoreline-of-Triton-Cove.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-Few-Houses-on-the-Shoreline-of-Triton-Cove-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1586\" width=\"768\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-Few-Houses-on-the-Shoreline-of-Triton-Cove-1024x819.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-Few-Houses-on-the-Shoreline-of-Triton-Cove-300x240.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-Few-Houses-on-the-Shoreline-of-Triton-Cove-768x614.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-Few-Houses-on-the-Shoreline-of-Triton-Cove.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Rocky Shoreline along Triton Cove at the State Park<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.gaiagps.com\/public\/BRu5hKmVb6PNByrf81xLOULA?embed=True\" style=\"border:none; overflow-y: hidden; background-color:white; min-width: 320px; max-width:600px; width:100%; height: 420px;\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"seamless\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Around mid-day we stopped at the Triton Cove State Park and sat down for a picnic lunch. This is a small state park at only 30-acres with day-use only features including a public boat ramp, a few picnic tables and a pit toilet. A 555-foot stretch of public access shoreline right on the salty shores of Hood Canal is available for crawling around on and fishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:60% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Boat-Ramp-Leading-into-Hood-Canal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Boat-Ramp-Leading-into-Hood-Canal-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1592 size-large\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Boat-Ramp-Leading-into-Hood-Canal-819x1024.jpg 819w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Boat-Ramp-Leading-into-Hood-Canal-240x300.jpg 240w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Boat-Ramp-Leading-into-Hood-Canal-768x960.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Boat-Ramp-Leading-into-Hood-Canal.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The public fishing dock and floating pier a the state park provided some great photo opportunities. The boat dock and western shoreline likely would provide for a great place to capture some early morning sunrise shots. I&#8217;ll have to get up super early some morning and get some sunrise shots from the park.  Unfortunately for us today there was a bit of smoke was in the air due to summer time forest fires.  The distant views were a bit muted, however,  we were still able to catch some great glimpses of the scenery as drove up the canal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Just north from the State Park we spotted a bald eagle perching atop dead tree overlook the Hood Canal. It posed for a while and let me snap a few photographs with my long lens.  Not the most majestic looking eagle, but posed perfectly for a few nice photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bald-Eagle-in-Profile.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bald-Eagle-in-Profile-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1589\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bald-Eagle-in-Profile-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bald-Eagle-in-Profile-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bald-Eagle-in-Profile-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bald-Eagle-in-Profile-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Bald-Eagle-in-Profile.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Close up of a Bald Eagle<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Overwatching-the-Cove-from-an-Old-Tree.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Overwatching-the-Cove-from-an-Old-Tree-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1598\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Overwatching-the-Cove-from-an-Old-Tree-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Overwatching-the-Cove-from-an-Old-Tree-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Overwatching-the-Cove-from-an-Old-Tree-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Overwatching-the-Cove-from-an-Old-Tree-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/gravelbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Overwatching-the-Cove-from-an-Old-Tree.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Bold Eagle Perched atop a Dead Tree<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">We continued on up Hwy 101, heading north towards the top of the Canal. We passed through a small section of the Olympic National Forest, going up and over Walker Pass around 800 feet in elevation. This gave us a small taste of the Olympic Mountains with the closeup mountain terrain visible from the car. We continued on down to cross over the hood canal bridge, through the picturesque and historical town of Port Gamble, and on down to the shores of the Puget Sound.  After a 45 minute wait a the Kingston Ferry Terminal we boarded the ferry and sailed across the sound to the Edmonds ferry port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter
