3 Days in America's Wildest Park | Olympic National Park

[@liamdavis2192]

“This would be a really nice drop in.” Me and the boys on every hike ever.

[@riseandalpine]

Glad you can relate. I can't look at any mountain without thinking about skiability

[@chek6303]

Love checking out other people's camping rigs/setups. New creative ideas!

[@riseandalpine]

Ayyyeeee - glad we are not the only ones

[@Lightsnacks777k]

This is so awesome you’re one of my favourite KZbinrs even if you’re channel is small you’re videos are great❤❤

[@riseandalpine]

Really appreciate the support :). Thank you.

[@arnoldlagambina211]

From a guy that is, originally, from Forks, I'll commend you on a great video. Most places that you went, I've been to. Hurricane Ridge is awesome! Lake Crescent, well, I've swam in it once, and never again. So cold! I would say, I agree, never go up the Hoh Rainforest road, this time of year. Go up the Queets or Quinault, which I seen you swimming in Lake Quinault. So, you were part way there. Anyway, two thumbs up! I, thoroughly, enjoyed your video.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks for tuning in Arnold! Glad we did an okay job buzzing around Olympic. Such a gorgeous area to grow up in.

[@qf2994]

Another great video! As someone who lives in Switzerland, I find it so interesting to see how the mountains/nature in Canada/US look so similar yet so different compared to here! Always look forward to your videos!

[@TheNewGreenIsBlue]

Yeah, they're very different! The Swiss Alps are definitely more striking, but also far more developed.

[@riseandalpine]

I'd love to come to Switzerland one day to compare!

[@flapjackson6077]

12:05 😂 Easy there, Sea Biscuit! That’s some beautiful area, and coast line! Never been to the west coast of the US. And Laura, well, James, you gotta fine woman, in more ways than one. 🤙

[@riseandalpine]

I’m one lucky guy

[@matthewrobb2853]

Yep, we always bike around campgrounds to check things out. Great for gear ideas and also to see the best sites for next time.

[@riseandalpine]

Hell ya! Stoked that we aren't the only ones.

[@KavensWorld]

Love watching videos with you two, great dynamic.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Kaven!

[@TheBigHeavyKevy]

Great video. You did a really good job with this one. Looks like you guys had a really nice time.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks! It was such an awesome time :)

[@mackie_p]

Beautiful video!! Glad you could get away for a bit!

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks dude! Felt good to shake it up.

[@recklesstoboggan]

Absolutely love Olympic National Park, that whole peninsula is just amazing. Just a beautiful place. Spent a LOT of time there over the years. There's a crazy good pizza place in Port Angeles, called The Strait Slice Pizza Co. that me and Ms. Toboggan had. Used to be a little hole in the wall, but now it looks like it's moved to a much bigger and nicer place on East 1st Street. We were gobsmacked, and to this day we both reckon it was the best pizza we've ever had.

[@riseandalpine]

I will 100% try it next time! Can't say no to good za.

[@SenseiDecay]

I can't see myself waiting 30 minutes for a hike, let alone 4 hours, that's nuts.

[@riseandalpine]

I know dude!

[@TinyPanda76]

Love this part of our state! I laughed pretty hard at your pronunciation of Shi Shi beach…it’s not “shee shee”it’s “shy shy” 🤭 Also, Rialto beach and Hole in the Wall are incredible on a low tide sunny day! Wish you would have had better weather for that part, and the tide had been out. The tide pools have so much color it almost looks like you’re in a tropical place!

[@riseandalpine]

My pronunciation is always so bad 😂😂. Loved the area. Will definitely be back to check out Rialto on a sunny day.

[@christophergocke8487]

Hurricane Ridge! Took my kids tube sledding up there and was so worried I’d lose them over the slope, sheesh !

[@riseandalpine]

No way hahaha! That would be an insane sledding spot. Just don't tell mom :)

[@shadowknight365]

I loved hiking Storm King Trail for the challenging steepness and rewarding views at the top. And the campground you stayed at on Crescent Lake, is nice place to tent camp. Brave to swim that cold water! I kayaked instead. Great video.

[@riseandalpine]

Glad you experienced the area as well! Super gorgeous view on storm king. Would totally hike it early like 6am if I ever go back to try and get the summit to ourselves :). The water in crescent is amazingly clear and I was shocked at how warm it was. It was formed by glaciers but I'm not sure how much glacial melt it was getting because it was actually a somewhat tolerable dip!

[@KevinWaldsAdventures]

Duuuude! I totally walk around campgrounds checking out peoples set ups too! some awesome ideas always!

[@riseandalpine]

Ayyeeee - glad this is a normal thing 🤣

[@tarfeef101]

Man when you mentioned the line i thought it would be for the ferry or border. That's wild for just a walk in the forest. If you want to see moss, I'd say the bottom of the hydraulic creek trail in lynn valley/seymour is much easier to get to. And like, a million other places around as well. We are in a rainforest, after all

[@riseandalpine]

Every slog to the alpine starts with some moss 😂😂😂😂

[@KZ-yu4jz]

Nice video, went there last year and had a great time. Waited 1.5 hours for the hoh rain forest. It was neat, but there is so much else to do in the area that I will never go back.

[@riseandalpine]

I totally agree! So many other amazing things to explore. If you're on a time crunch the Hoh forest is a skip for sure

[@aaronsanislo8420]

Storm King is an a$$ kicker. There's maybe 2 flat spots in the entire trail, the rest is non-stop elevation gain all the way to the top. Pretty view once you're up there, but man...

[@riseandalpine]

100% - view was super sick!

[@paulcentineo4174]

Way to mix it up James, cool video!👊🏼🍻

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Paul! Love doing summer travels like this and stoked people are digging it

[@andymac9786]

That line is outta control! I would never wait in that for the Hall of Mosses at the Hoh. No fun with a million people on the trail. Def an off season destination

[@riseandalpine]

Dude I know! 100% not worth the wait. So many other gorgeous and uncrowded places to check out in Olympic!

[@jacksheehan2033]

those clouds were insane! some cool shots.

[@riseandalpine]

SO crazy right! Looked like it was a greenscreen or something

[@Tannertraversed]

Me encanta!! 🤝

[@riseandalpine]

Ayyeee thanks!

[@chrisbizcoach]

Dear James and Laura, FYI. No Australian would be caught dead drinking Forster beer. In fact I don’t think our local bottle shop even sells it anymore. I will bring something better for you on my next trip to BC.

[@riseandalpine]

I am so relieved to hear that. Was worried y'all had no sense of beer taste. Excited to try some of the good stuff!

[@jean-francoiscloutier7361]

Another great adventure. Summer as now arrive.....

[@riseandalpine]

Feels good to be doing some summer things!

[@meditation-q4n]

You’re in my state. Cool!!

[@riseandalpine]

Washington rocks!

[@joshuaspringer3646]

love yours vids

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Josh!

[@jakes_on_a_plane]

Love the vids dude... come for an early morning hike up the Chief, i can guarantee you a chill cliff edge rope view

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks! Always love quiet mornings on the Chief... What is a cliff edge rope view?

[@markhills628]

Summer camping adventures are back! I can't get over the amount of driftwood on those beaches. Is that from trees near the beach that have fallen into the water due to erosion or has it come out from a river?

[@riseandalpine]

Great question! Probably just fallen trees over time but I have no idea

[@Denizz._]

amazing video but im very dissapointed that you ate shake shack in this video now I want some and they dont have any in Vancouver

[@riseandalpine]

Next time you’re in seattle try it

[@FoundPonds]

LMAO Hawk Two!

[@riseandalpine]

Hawk one or Hawk two?

Thanks Jean! Will put this towards the campsite beer tour fund :)

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

My man why u say bagel like you a sheep? Baa-gel? Just think of Otis Redding getting distracted by sea birds. "Sittin' on the dock of the bay-gull" 😊

[@riseandalpine]

It's the Canadian pronunciation I believe?

[@BikefitMatt]

It’s just gotta be done, me and my wife have done the evening campsite walk with a beer or wine every holiday for the last 20years 👌🏻

[@riseandalpine]

So happy we are not the only ones :)

[@MurrayPeeps]

Come to Colorado next!

[@riseandalpine]

That would be so fun!

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

Hey fireworks are better than a garbage fire. Once I was at a beach out by San Gregoro CA a bit secluded from the road. A family showed up with their kids and they had these sleds with garbage bags in them. The kids went to play in the water, and the adults set fire to the garbage. Then they just left with the burning pile of garbage in the middle of the beach.

[@riseandalpine]

Well that is properly insane.... I guess garbage is getting burnt anyways but that sure would ruin the beach chills hahaha

[@liamcolton4625]

10/10 its not camping unless you go around and admire other campers setups

[@riseandalpine]

Amazing! I'm glad so many people agree. Was worried we were just some creeper campers hahaha

[@goose9472]

Cosmic crisp for the win lol

[@riseandalpine]

He's back hahaha. Ambrosia > Cosmic.... But cosmic is pretty damn tasty

[@reneee4314]

Enjoyed your video. Please don't let alcoholism get to you. So then you can keep venturing.

[@riseandalpine]

So glad you like the video reneee! Don't you worry, just having a few casuals on vacation. I keep things super balanced!

[@choisam20]

I just had a great idea. And I wanted to tell you. Can you invite insaneshayne to your video? I think it’s a great match. I bet he loves your ski content too. I think he would make a guest appearance on your video. Ask him strategically. I think he’s a great match to your channel and his viewers would love your content too. (Put the sauce on the marshmallow. Throw it super far from a whistler cliff and have him catch it at the bottom. I think it can work! And you show him around the mountain and make him do crazy ski stunts if he can.)

[@riseandalpine]

Dude that would be hilarious! I've seen so many of his videos... His stunts are ridiculous. I wonder if he can ski?

[@choisam20]

@@riseandalpine I just found out about him like 2 weeks ago! Yeah, I don’t know if he skies. Invite him to BC and teach him ski and show him around. I can see it. It’s a win win for you and him. You have a higher comments ratio for sub counts. You have a very royale fan base. You do have the leverage when you ask him for a collab/hire. You do have the almost strong leverage as Nikolai shcimer when/if you sit on the negotiation with him (shane), I believe. I don’t really watch stradman’s channel anymore but I watch all your videos!! That’s how much I’m hooked on your channel. Your videos/channel is powerful.

[@Andrewrrrrr]

I tell people that can't book west coast trail to go to those beaches as a consulation.

[@riseandalpine]

100% that or the Cape Scott trail are great options!

Would love to try some!
