While I have talked about the Nooksack River, I am going to post a few photos of the river and the area around the banks of the river.  It is a beautiful river and by far the most wild river I have ever seen.  The banks are littered with boulders and shattered trees...in fact, it is littered with shattered boulders as well.  The force of the river in flood season must be incredible, magnificent, and more than a little scary.  Yet because of all of the moisture and because the area is in the shade for most of the day, moss grows on the rocks along the river.  The river bed itself looks almost like a moon scape, yet 75 feet away moss-covered boulders frame an almost idyllic scene.
