My dad and I stayed at a cabin on crescent lake the year before he died. He had been a backpacker but the bone cancer made it hard for him to walk so we did a ton of driving around and looking at views near the car. We too had incredible oysters but not in sequoim but south bend in the southern part of the peninsula. Cash only but the best oysters I’ve ever had. Thanks for sharing your adventures

[@fishstick7104]

Storm King is a beast! Trying to navigate the ropes section with a bunch of other hikers coming up and going down- it can get sketchy! 😱 really challenging hike! I'm so jealous, it looks like there were very few people when you went. Incredible views! But very scary top section. For anyone who doesn't want to do the ropes, The view just before the end of the maintained trail is pretty phenomenal.

[@grahambooth8799]

Thanks for all of your videos. You have given us the inspiration to keep travelling back to the USA and spend our tourist dollars. We did CA one month road trip of Nevada Arizona and Califonia based off your superb videos and we return to do Miami the Everglades and Keys in ten days. The US economy owes you a big thanks and we owe you huge for giving us the inspiration to have great vacations. Doing Smoky Mountains next year

[@thebutlerfamilyadventures]

Marymere is such a cool little hike. So close to the lake crescent lodge and it really gets you a taste of the Pacific Northwest forest. We’re gonna have to stay at the lodge next time we’re in the area.

[@imapisces1]

You missed Devil's Punch Bowl on the left-side of the tunnel you first walked thru! 😖 It is the length of the tunnel, crystal clear and saphire blue water as you cross the little bridge. Wonderful swimming spot in the summer. Absolutely love the Olympic Peninsula. Check out Port Townsend next time as well as the Finn River Cider Farm (incredible experience!).

[@bojackkatarn]

Probably for the best he skipped Devil's Punch Bowl. That place is Spring Break ONP (in the summer), infested with teenagers and college kids.

[@imapisces1]

@bojackkatarn I haven't had that experience at all. Definitely not to be missed if you're from out of town.

[@got_to_roll]

Really enjoyed this and all of your videos. Bonus fact~ Under the Tacoma Narrows bridge live the largest octopuses in the world with an average 16' length and average weight of 132 pounds.

[@jonathantitus2629]

WE love that entire area. One of our favorite hikes near Lake Crescent is to Sol Duc Falls. And staying at the Lodge and eating in the dining room are well worth the price--looking forward to one day returning...

[@robthetraveler1099]

I too took the Bainbridge Island ferry from Seattle. It was March, but the skies were cloudless and the weather was perfect. I will never forget my first view of Lake Crescent and the stunningly blue water. I also stopped in Port Angeles, but only briefly. I caught my first ground-level sight of Canada (as opposed to flying over) looking across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Victoria, BC. I stayed the night in Port Townsend, an amazing small town with incredible historic architecture. I would love to go back.

[@mannytravelsandhikes]

Love this video. Brought back memories from my hiking trip out there. I’m a new subscriber. Cheers 🙌

[@Theclevy86]

I live in Port Angeles and I must must recommend next time you are up here go to the coast and do Cape Flattery, and then back to the 101 and go down to Ruby Beach and Kalaloch Beach Campground and see the tree of life! Also, I am a photographer and road tripper and there are a lot of amazing areas you will want to see in Oregon as well. This was a great video @Through My Lens!

[@dpalmer5273]

I am driving out there last week of March. ill write down your comment.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

We will be in this area shortly - hoping to get to these falls! Great video as ALWAYS !

[@staciamwalrus]

I feel like everybody's sleeping on the Hood canal side of the peninsula, so many gorgeous spots

[@ThroughMyLens]

I can't wait to get back and explore more, this was such a short trip. I need a lot more time there!

[@The_Irsilaar_Archive]

What a wonderful place, nice commentry, nice editing, love from India

[@peninsulahomerenovations9680]

What a wonderful place.

[@kamauwikeepa7308]

Thank you for your wonderful and informative videos of your lovely country. Arohanui New Zealand.

[@evslone]

Another challenging but rewarding hike. I love exploring Olympic National Park from both sides of the peninsula. Have traveled all around the Pacific Northwest with wonderful experiences but I have to say that the only place I have ever felt unwelcome was Bainbridge Island, which had a definite elitist vibe. The people I encountered there were not keen on tourists, to put it mildly, especially one with a dog. Thanks for another great adventure.

[@maryjbelle]

Another great video. Thanks for the noom link and for filming that climb. I’d be down at the waterfall😅. Downside - It’s so crowded…

[@SEATTLE4KWalking]

Went to around this area yesterday! On ocean side, visited Tree of Life and Hole in the Wall Beach!

[@tquist61]

Fantastic video! I first saw the video of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge undulating then collapsing in the wind during a high school physics class. Amazing to see!

[@normiewoo787]

Mt. Storm King looks beautiful. Thanks for the video.

[@andreajohnson1796]

Nature, what a beautiful blessing Thank you for taking us along , Love it !

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@drmyers56]

Welcome to our world! Born & raised in PA. Looks like you had a good time.

[@hikingelevated]

Giving me some great ideas. I've had that Mount Storm trail on my mind for a bit.

[@Verlopil]

That hike would kill me, so I'm glad I could live it via you and your brother in law! 😊 Thanks for another great video!

[@kismetfast4674]

Wre hen going through Washington....don't forget to go to San Juan Islands and hike on Orcas Island. I live in Bellingham, Wa and we are lucky to be close to Mt. Baker too! There are many trails to see wildflowers to ice caves! Nice and dark to photograph the stars as well!

[@biker5662]

What an absolutely incredible view!!

[@weiwang4504]

I lived in Southern California for years and watched a lot of your videos, and I moved to Seattle so it's nice to see you post something about Seattle. And I especially like your bro wearing a united jersey

[@outbackwack368]

Thanks! We had a VERY long drive out to the very disappointingly unremarkable Neha Bay. That's all I remember. Definitely going back to see it right next time!

[@BackroadExploits]

Your photography and narration never disappoint. Loved the views. That opening image is breathtaking at 00:07!

[@srilathabhatt813]

Awesome place...

[@adventuresofjandk]

What a beautiful area of the country. Our backyard playground

[@ThroughMyLens]

Such a stunning area, I want to spend more time there!

[@jrrockett]

Far Out! My Home State. Next time you come Back you'll have to see Hurricane Ridge up there. National Park

[@leifandsorennordgren1054]

Lake Crescent is gorgeous - if you haven't already done so, you should google the underwater cars and diving photos from Lake Crescent. Storm King is such an epic hike - and you absolutely can't beat Salty Girls - Oyster heaven!!! Great video - lots of my favorite spots here. Thanks!

[@sanchopuncho]

Great hike! I did Mt Storm King in Oct 2020 and the view is epic! Thanks for sharing your journeys!

[@ThroughMyLens]

So cool! I agree, the view from the top is spectacular

[@AmbientWalking]

Yay! Another adventure! So cool to travel with you! :)

[@jeffcasey504]

Best sunset views approaching Seattle on Bainbridge ferry. I've killed time enjoying the island to get the timing right. Even better if you are in line first so you are at the front of the cardeck for final approach.

[@rhondaz356]

This was so cool. Thanks guys, for bringing us to that lovely area. very enjoyable and informative 👏👏

[@Luciferwinchester]

Thank you for noting that it isn't the true summit for Storm King, so many people get that wrong(and the true summit is a pain to reach)

[@peiyuhuang4015]

Thank you for the amazing video. We walked to Marymere Falls. Beautiful walk. If you are visiting Olympic National Park in the future, check out 7 Cedar hotel and casino at Sequim for one night stay before heading to Olympic National Park, it's BEAUTIFUL and great rate, much better than hotels in Fort Angeles.

[@dpalmer5273]

Driving out there last week of March. goal is to visit each national park/ forest. cant wait for retirement in one year.

[@kayleebeare]

Thanks for this Josh! Planning a trip to the PNW next year and we added this to our list!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Awesome! I hope to explore the area more in the next year as well!

[@funnykitty123]

Yay finally you made it to Washington!!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Went to Mt Rainier National Park as well for a future video and it was amazing!

[@iamcoreilly]

My favorite place in the country is Sol Duc Falls. Have you been there yet? Its just past Crescent Lake. As beautiful as a waterfall can be. A lot of people have a poster of it so you have probably seen it. I have many photos! I tried to go to Marymere Falls this year since I can't do Sol Duc any more, expecting it to be same difficulty but shorter. When I got to the steep stairs, I was unable to climb the first one. Old hips and knees are failing me so no more hikes, just road trips.

[@beverleyonajide4523]

Hi👋🏽Josh… I loved the views…but 😬MG…this was frightening for me to watch…I have a fear of high places. I did enjoy the views…waterfall…the ride to get there…little stops on the way back…the coffee and food…except the oysters. TFS and being the one😬to do this hike…since I wouldn’t …see you next time.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for watching the video! I knew that hike wouldn't be for everyone but I am glad you still enjoyed the video

[@michaelgd4144]

I climbed mt storm king last November for a school hiking club trip. It was fun, but the conditions were much less favorable than in this video. There was a lot of mist (which created slick rock), and the windspeed had to be something like 65mph. It was very sketchy.

[@BackpackandGear]

Nice views! When I was in Washington many years ago it was in September and a little rainy. You had great weather and it looked like a lot of fun! I think I would skip the oysters and maybe go for some kind of fish instead. I live in Florida but don't eat a lot of seafood. I love shrimp but not eating it to lower my cholesterol!

[@beebeesfuntasticadventures6110]

Another fantastic video, like.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for the visit!

[@mccartyj85]

We were there just a week and a half ago. We skipped Storm King because we were with the family, but we did the falls. Unfortunately there was a wedding photographer and a couple that went over the fence and were using a drone in front of the falls, so it ruined the view for everyone. I also think we stopped at that drive thru coffee shack, they had good mini donuts. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Oh wow that is a bummer about the photographer and drone! Everyone stayed behind the fence when we were there. Glad you got to experience a little of the area!

[@Wearespurstv]

Awesome a new video!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for watching it, loved exploring this area

[@elizabethtipton4193]

The Canadian Jays at the top will fly right to your hand.

[@mixeddrinks8100]

nice you finally made it to Olympic NP! Hopefully you got more time to get around it, Crescent is just scratching the very edge, get out there and check out the rest! Highly recommend Cape Flattery as well.

[@staciamwalrus]

I really enjoyed the Makah museum in Neah Bay

[@mixeddrinks8100]

@@staciamwalrus yep that is a good one, you will probably like the Royal BC museum in Victoria too I would think.

[@stevedietrich8936]

I wondered if any of Galloping Gertie remained, but it looks like they removed all of it when they made the new bridge. It looks like a nice workout hiking up Storm King.

[@brandtdaniels]

Would you consider moving to the PNW? If you did, where would you chose to live?

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]

shout out to your brother in law for rocking the Manchester united shirt.

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

Thanks don't tell anyone

[@markyuen2312]

Is Joel, your brother-in-law, the brother of Amy?????

[@seattledude2022]

mt storm king trail, I didn't know it's a hard trail before going. It should be named knee breaking trail.

[@suzettecalleja3122]

I wish I knew you were here. I would of taken you to breakfast

[@ThroughMyLens]

That would have been awesome!

[@bellatran3408]

Soooooo pretty❤

[@LatteDude1]

Really misleading video as it was mostly your Storm King climb. Hardly talked about much else to do there and only a single restaurant (and brief mention of coffee shop). It’s a shame that more wasn’t covered.

[@ThroughMyLens]

I did as much as I could in 24 hours, I hope to go back and do more in the future

[@Chuck-tq3kq]

I’m with MY DAD.
