Chris had initially intended to propose on August 7th, but he and Elyse were a little worse for wear from a friends wedding, so the proposal was pushed to the next day. Chris chose the shores of Olympic National Park because how much Elyse loves the water, exploring tidal pools, and climbing on rocks.
Getting to the beach meant a short hike through the beautiful pine rain forest. Beach 3, just south of La Push, is known for its stunning views, and tidal pools.
