The Rhizosphere is tucked into the mature woods of the Pacific Northwest's crown jewel, the Olympic Peninsula. We steward our land with permaculture principles. The orchard is surrounded by maturing legacy forest of Fir, Cedar, Maple, Hemlock and Alder as well as two old growth Fir trees. Walk or bike right from our property to various outdoor activities including: The Olympic Adventure Trail, Rock climbing overlooking the Elwha River, Swimming in the Elwha River, Kelly Peak hike/bike, The Colville trails and more! Our site is less than 15 minutes drive to drive to various Olympic National Park trail heads. Please see the list of links at the bottom of the description for more info! Our land is kid friendly. We ask that kids (and adults) refrain from harming any trees or vegetation. We encourage aww of the natural environment! Our resident owl might even visit your camp fire! Our land is dog friendly. We ask that your dog remain on a leash and that you bag and trash your poo at all spots visited in the great wild olympics! Our property is not fenced and we are on a road corner. We have a 16' aluminum Canoe for rent with lifejackets and paddles. We love paddling on Lake Sutherland or Crescent Lake! Both of these spots are about a 20 minutes drive from our place (Canoe rental is $50/day) Here are some link to superb local attractions!
