It rains even more on the coast. And the geography is pretty rough out there generally speaking, with less open flat land and rockier coastlines. The coastal mountain ranges also don't help with access to the rest of the country.

The ones for the continents look great and maybe accurate but the ones for island nations look off and should've been of different colors. The one I'm knowledgeable of - for the Philippines, I can tell you that just the northern main island (Luzon), there should be different systems and not all of them are of the same drainage area. The map makes it look like all the rivers in an island are all connected to one another.

One of my favorite hikes. Just wish they improved the road somehow so it doesn't take an hour to drive across 20 miles of dirt road. Then again, more people might just ruin a good thing, so maybe keep it as it is. πŸ˜‚

You're very welcome. ☺️ I like to explore and go hiking, and I love to share the beauty of what I see whenever I can.

I have another post of this same hike if you want to see more pictures:

Nothing beats being there in real life though, so if you can and do enjoy hiking as well, then I highly recommend this trail. It's about 3 hours from Seattle, is 7.4 miles long, very steep but no scrambling, and really makes you appreciate the beauty of the Cascades and Washington State.
