This was a welcoming sight on our arrival, June 24, 2007.

 Double rainbow: a second rainbow on the outside of the first, brighter rainbow, from raindrops higher than those causing the "primary rainbow", and special—they internally reflect the incoming sunlight twice rather than just once. Rainbow arching over the Quinault Rainforest canopy. Canopy trees include evergreens (Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and western red cedar) as well as some deciduous trees.

Rainbow over the shoreline of Lake Quinault frames the site of the World’s Largest Spruce: circumference of 58', 11", diameter of 18', 9", height of 191', about 1000 years old.
