Daniel J. Evans Wilderness (Olympic National Park): If Wilderness Could Speak

If the wilderness could speak, what would it say? Olympic National Park's Daniel J. Wilderness doesn't just speak...it sings! Enjoy the symphony of nature in one of the most acoustically diverse wilderness areas of the country as we follow the wilderness cry from the alpine region of the Olympic Mountains down through the canopies of the old growth forests and temperate rainforest into the raging waters of the wilderness Pacific coast. With 95% of its land designated as wilderness, Olympic National Park protects a unique and endangered resource: natural sound.

This channel is an undiscovered gem on KZbin. Looks like no new videos from here on out, but those that are here are worthy of many repeat viewings. Just stunning.

In my 80 odd years I've seen the night horizon go from black to blaze and the acoustics of nature dim on the island I grew up on. The Olympics were always in the distance and I'm happy we have preserved them.

Thank you, governor. Great to see you have not forgotten.

The most delightful video i have seen in a very long while What a wonderful song the wilderness can sing💖

[@TheCloudman42]

Very well done! One of my favorite places in the world, from the glaciers of Mt. Olympus and the Bailey Range, to Hurricane Ridge and the rain forests to the Pacific Ocean beaches. It has it all!

Absolutely stunning images, lovely idea, and yes, magnificent sound design. What a treat. And I'm envious of you spending so much time out there Erin! I will definitely share this!

Close to tears. I posted it on my advocacy website UntamedGarden. Words may have interfered. Just listening and seeing is powerful. I guess some people need words though. Thank you.

It's all there, isn't it?. One needs only to be mindful: pay attention to the sounds, sights, smells and ....the changes. It's Mother Earth, Gaia, displaying her power, her love for all to behold. Thank you for this perspective, Erin. (Diane & Norris)

Very nice video. Coincidentally, I just returned home from Olympic National Park two weeks ago. Your video captures the essence of the park. It makes me want to return for a longer period. The wilderness does speak to those who listen. Thanks for your efforts.

A symphony, by God.

[@TheJan2866]

Heaven so relaxing

[@NPSWilderness]

If wilderness could speak, what would it say? The wilderness speaks to everyone in different ways. Let us know what wilderness says to you!

[@seekingatrialogue]

thank you... I will use it in my lessons.. greetings from middle Europe

[@nic1208]

Ahhh Olympic is an amazing place

[@MimisPublishingCo]

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the one who created such beauty. He gave us voices to sing with and feet to dance so why not the rocks, the waters, the animals and the trees. God is so good.

[@carolemeyer3070]

The wilderness does sing and it is saying, think of me as your most prized possession and treat me as you would it.

[@Dchisesi1RYDI]

nice.

This is the Almighty God ALLAH who said: We shall (continue to) show them Our evidence in the world and within their souls until it becomes clear that the Quran is the truth. Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord witness all things?
