8 Amazing Places in OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK [4K]

Just got back yesterday .weather was cold and rainy , but the sights are incredible! My suggestion is dress I. Layers

Thanks for Sharing and I plan to Visit Next Week! Can't Wait!

I enjoyed Hurricane Ridge and Staircase also. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for sharing! We are heading to Olympic in late September - Deer Park Campground isn't something we'd heard of but think we will have to head up there to check out the views! What time of year were you visiting?

I live about 3-5 minutes from Klalaloch Lodge ☺️
We pronounce it like "Clay-Lock"

Great video! We are heading up there next week. I know, not the best time of year, but I imagine it will still be beautiful.

Wow, what an amazing place to visit! Thank you for posting.

When I was in Seattle I was at Pier 56 restaurant and across bay it was clear gold sunset on Olympic mountains it was gorgeous.

Good stuff ty

Be careful you crazy kids out on those rocks. But absolutely stunning! Thank you!

Just an FYI, you two are very fortunate that you survived walking on that cliff! Very poor decision that could have killed one if not both of you!

I lived between Port Angeles & Joyce just off of Route 112 for over six years. Fished the Elwa for steelhead. The Lyre for Rainbows & I even caught a Beardsley Trout out of Lake Crecent once. In fact I worked part time at the Fairholm General Store one summer. That was back in the days when Greenpeacers were chaining themselves to trees & loggers were cooking spotted owls on the exhaust manifolds of skidders, Lol.
I blocked some ceder shake bolts in my day. At the same time I resented the big highline operations. It is a fact they were raping the old growth forests at that time & it was a crying shame.
Here's a bit of little trivia: a lot of spruce was harvested directly from the Olympic National Forest during the first & second world wars. The light weight Spruce timber was used to build aircraft. Upon the forested slopes around Lake Crecent the remnants of notches for the springboards the loggers stood upon when they felled the trees can still be seen high upon the giant stumps that still remain.
I was working a ceder salvage job on a big clear-cut just outside of the park border one summer. Me & a couple buddies (one a native member of the Klallam Tribe) spent the bulk of that summer in a little obscure campground somewhere along the Hoh. We ratted for ceder during the day & came back to our humble home in Hoh Forest at night. I did my dishes & bathed in the Hoh river daily for two months straight! Shaved my face using the side mirror of the old Chevy van I slept in. Those were some of the best days of my life! The Olympic National Forest is a part of my soul & I miss it deeply.
Anyhow thanks for reading this. It's good to share memories with those who can truly appreciate them. I'm coming at ya from my birthplace in southwestern Pennsylvania nowadays. I hope to spend time in the Olympic Forest sometime again on this life's journey.
Peace unto all who read this.
Aho

What Pass do you need to travel through there?

Love this place, thanks for share !

Please don't do what these people did and f'n take the moss of the precious rain forest! Let alone burn it! OP edit that out please

this would be my second trip in seattle with an RV. hope it's safe in Olympics park at Kalelock and alto beach . thank you for taking time out and sharing such a wonderful place video as it helps in seeing what we are planing into

amazing video lot of informative tips on camp ground . looking forward to visiting soon

Ur hands are huuuuuge

Camera not in focus

Just beautiful!! definitely will return sometime soon

What is nation? Stop nationalists discrimination, you not know what it is.
Humans born without nationality, born without fascism, nationalization in childhood make them.
False value, false enemy, false nation definition make false enemy, destroy value of life.

I didn't know driving 2 hours and 30 min would be a smart thing to do while visiting but after watching your video it made me run and grab my keys to head out. Thank you!

Really good stuff. Thanks for creating and posting it.

I am heading up to the olympic nat. park in a couple of months... THank you!!!

A tiny look at a HUGE Park with 600 miles of hiking trail!

I have hiked the Hoh Rain Forest out to the bottom of Mount Olympus and back. It was beautiful. I spent 5 days in there.

What time of year is this? Great video!!

We just came back from Kaloch Lodge and something we saw off Hwy 101 was The Cedar Tree. It is the most awesome tree ever. And about four years ago we went to Cape Flattery which is at the very tip of Washington. The trail is beautiful and the end of the trail gives some spectacular views into Canada. I would highly recommend both I have unreal pictures of the huge cedar trees that I could send you

¿Por qué ponés título en español y hablas en inglés?

I lived on the Olympic Peninsula, more specifically, La Push but have relatives who live on the Hoh River Reservation. The whole area is stunning and on average, we get 85" to 100" of rain per year w the maximum at 144". You saw some wildlife & over the years I've seen just about everything; bears, cougars, sea otters, fox & Big Foot!! Just kidding on the last one, just checking to see if you were paying attention!🤪

Thank you! I'm thinking of moving near Port Angeles.

great video

I'd say going to rain forest on a rainy day would be better

There is a trail that goes over the top of Hole-in-the-Wall. You don't have to scramble over the rocks...

It's pronounced "CLAY-lock"

When were you there?

My daughter was just over there and it was truly amazing the weather was good and waves 🌊 at the beach was awesome. We plan on going on another trip soon

Like the video, but at the end you definitely should not be poking the animals as was mentioned. I am pretty sure that the part that "shoots out" are the internal organs of the animal. It is an extreme defense mechanism that leaves the animal in a very weak state and should never be done. Furthermore, most of those rocks and seastacks should not be climbed on as they are usually habitats for seabirds or other animals.

That one in particular looked barren but that may be exactly because of this. In deception pass, there is a nice wade pool trail that is sectioned off because historically it was such a popular area that all the foot traffic killed the marine life there. After decades of rehabilitation it is finally recovering, but just please everybody remember to treat these areas with care and that they are delicate.

PSA: Don't climb on the seastacks. I can't speak for that particular one, but most of them have nesting birds for the year and it is not allowed.

I see the wonderful Olympic mountains every day 😁 have a view of the Brothers from my living room

Queets is one of the very best places. Not to many people go there.

Pretty good list of spots! Other spots I’d highly recommend are 2nd, Ruby and Shi Shi beaches, Sol Duc Falls and Lake Quinnalt (Awesome lodge, lots of massive old growth trees, bald eagles and elk around the lake). Staircase is on the Hood Canal side and not really good to plan into a normal Olympic trip, but if you are hanging out in hood canal I recommend checking it out!

Sand dollars? I've lived on the Olympic Peninsula for 20 years and never found a sand dollar on the beach!

Hi i was just watching your video when you went to olympic peninsula and omg ny fiance and I love to go there every yr of summer.

You said god bless me good thing I am sitting down thank you, you differenty christin its heather

Thank you for doing this. What a great way to share with those of us that can't hike anymore

Leave the animals, large and small, home. Pack out what you carry in. Maintain mask requirements and social distancing. And return to your home safely.

PLEASE DONT COLLECT DRIFT WOOD!!

yeah but what about Buckwas? you know?....Skukum....any sightings?

I was out there last Sunday. Rainy, cold and windy. And very beautiful. After it warms up/dries up a bit, I'll head back over for some longer hikes. Thanks for the video.
