Mineralized stream, Michael’s Cabin, Elwha River, Olympic Nat’l Park
Michael’s Cabin is a preserved historic log cabin about 1.8 mi from the beginning of the Elwha River Trail, a major trail in Olympic National Park. Near this cabin a small brook crosses the trail, and everything the water touches or splashes on is coated with (what looks like) lime.
