Olympic National Park: Exploring Two Sides of Wilderness

[@parisbest105]

Majestic Beauty, hiking through Olympic National "Fairytale Feeling Forest!!!" 🌿🌲🌲🌲🌿

[@vandalnonesuch8274]

been here at least 6 times. In 1968, I was 18 YO: coming from Texas and it's general flatness, I was stunned by this park! The last time: an Amtrak trip from LA with my wife and daughters (ages 12 and 7) in 1999. We spent 4 days in the Park; my daughters loved the beaches, my wife the Rain Forest, and me, the Mountains! This Park, as well as Glacier in Montana are my favorites! This is an excellent presentation- well done!!!

Thankyou for today's show on the Olympics National Park. Be still my heart. I worked 2 summers at Sol Duc Resort. We lived on site and between working, we hiked that beautiful hike to Sol Suc Falls and clambered all over the gorgeous wild coastline and rainforest. Fabulous. Some of the most pristine country one could possibly find. You are right. .pure gold treasure in this part of the world. Plus soaking in the natural hot springs was a superb treat. Love your show ...keep rockin those parks.

I lived on the Olympic Penninsula in Port Angeles, 30 elk is a small herd. Try having the highway stopped until over 200 elk cross it. It was not uncommon.

thanks, great vid. Ive spent endless time on the Peninsula, so i feel like there needs to be a part two to this vid to give it justice. I love what you guys do, so thanks. If you heed the call of my comment, just means you have to spend more time up there, darn, ha. Visiting all the (four) rainforest valleys up there would be a great focus, including the gorgeous Lake Quinalt. And Hurricane Ridge as well,... so much in such a "small" area.

[@TinyCabinLife]

Totally agree! They always say it’s 3 parks in one. What a magical spot. I’d love to go back!

[@marshagoldstein2434]

This is such a gorgeous episode. I taped it, as always, but I am using some of the scenes for meditation.

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

So good! Thank you!!

The trail to Shi Shi Beach is a very muddy all year.

I liked the rain forest and coastal areas of ONP, but my favorite part was the mountain area. The peaks arent as high as some other ranges in the US, but going from sea level to 5k+ feet is quite an experience. My wife and I logged 5,500 feet of net elevation gain on a day hike near Port Angeles, it was epic!

[@TinyCabinLife]

So awesome! I’ve always wanted to climb some of the peaks there

Nature is therapeutic...............but remember, it is indifferent to humans. It does not care if you are cold, starving, injured, or suffering in any way. So we made cities where we can serve our interests best, with food, shelter, medicine, education, etc. Each has its place, and if you were ever really untethered to the benefits of the cities, you would cry for your mommy.

[@randywarnock2937]

Quiet times in nature is NOT silent. Just soft quiet time.

Just saw you guys on NBC about 15 mins ago. It's 2/1/20. New subscriber. Would've never known about u guys if I didn't cut my cable. Keep us informed! Thanks!

[@TinyCabinLife]

So glad you found us!

[@drewp.weiner4419]

And I've seen Mt. Rainier shown as a part of Olympic more then once 😉

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

Thanks for watching, Drew!

[@justinburrell4979]

Whoops, 1:45 does show Mt Rainier as part of the Olympics. Rainier National Park is about 3 hours to the East of Olympic National Park.

[@barbaradarnell7376]

And shots of the Oregon Cascades in videos about some other state!

[@X_explorer]

Good channel!

[@drewp.weiner4419]

Sol duc isn't the only waterfall in Olympic national park/forest that you can see from above.

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

🙌

[@ssnora-2k125]

Is it muddy in the rainforest in the summer or just more dryer

[@drewp.weiner4419]

It gets really dry the last couple summers and there have been a couple fires in the national forest, but not inside of the national park.

Hi from Wishkah Washington State

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

Hello there! Thanks for watching!

[@harinihari9999]

I have a question - can we get guide in these national parks who explains and at same time kwn what do and wt not ??? Reply plzzz

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

[@ccc-yp8ot]

Most of Olympic National park is tree farms. Very little, less than 10% is “old growth forest”.

[@randywarnock2937]

30 in a herd of elk is NOT a “judge herd “. 100 or more is a large herd. I have seen judge herds.

[@DavidSmith-wr6vj]

There is a place to catch waves close to here. you can drive up to, but i wont tell

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

Aha, I believe we found that the next day. 🤘
