Twilight Saga: Forks, Washington

This past weekend we decided to make the short trip to Forks, Washington, and Port Angeles, Washington, to check out some of the Twilight Saga movie perks of the area. Of course, these two actual locations weren't used in the movie filming, but there were a few things that were used. The Forks High School sign, the Welcome to Forks sign, and a few random things in and around both areas. We also enjoyed spending a lot of time on the Quileute Indian Reservation and the beach at La Push. The beach at La Push had a lot of surfers and it's definitely a place we will have to add to our surfing bucket list.

Our entire trip was a day trip and it covered almost 750 miles round trip.

The view from La Push was amazing, especially as the sun went down. Absolutely will be giving this area another trip to check out the swells and surf a bit in the waters here.

This area in Forks, Washington, has a Forever Twilight in Forks Festival. The festival falls on September 8-11, 2022. You can purchase tickets starting on January 1, 2022.

Day Hike at Larwood Bridge

We've been to Larwood Bridge before during the summer months to swim in the water under the bridge. It's kind of a hidden gem in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. It's one of the many covered bridges in the area that are still maintained and travelable by car.
