24 Hours at a Historic Hotel on top of a Waterfall in Washington - Salish Lodge

[@MrStunnd]

Josh, I said to my my wife last night while watching this video ... out of everyone I watch on KZbin, no matter the genre, you are the most personable and easy to watch without a doubt. Even when you have your pops on or your wife, you all seem so chill and not "influencer type" in any way. You don't go out of your way to dramatize things for views or push a narrative. I've been watching you for quite a few years now, and all of your videos are so organic and easy to watch. Even on a sponsored video like this. Please don't change they way you do things ... you and the family are the kind of people I feel like I could be friends with in real life. No BS at all from you guys.

[@popshiking]

@MrStunnd Thanks for the kind words. Josh works hard producing the videos and he is just as real in life as you see him in the videos.

[@reneejones7807]

And Josh has added another place to my bucket list, lol. Thank you for introducing us to this magical hotel.

[@Sunsetsonthehorizon]

Wow!!! This is the main reason I want to go to Washington State. I am a huge Twin Peaks fan so I immediately associate this spot with the show/movie. Looks absolutely incredible!!

[@ThroughMyLens]

I hope you can visit, it is a really awesome spot

[@milesandhikes]

same!!!

[@CactusAtlas]

I once hiked to the bottom before they limited access, on a very rainy, foggy day, much like your experience. With my wife being a huge Twin Peaks and Pacific Northwest lover, the lodge looks like wedding anniversary material. Your video definitely made me a buyer, as they always do!

[@andreajohnson1796]

Aww , beautiful, how mother nature painted the biggest picture for all to enjoy , love it Thank you for taking us along it's always a blessing

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@milesandhikes]

As a HUGE Twin Peaks fan, this would be a dream place to stay at!! Of course, if it looked exactly like the Great Northern hotel, that'd be even better :) What a stunning, beautiful place! I can't wait to visit the PNW!

[@eddieperez5983]

Glad you have been highlighting my home state of Washington these last couple videos truly a majestic place especially during this season.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Such a beautiful state. I love visiting whenever I can

[@jonament7409]

I’m glad you enjoyed the Lodge. I grew up a few miles from the falls in the 70’s. I have a pretty deep connection to this area. One of my friends was the head of the remodel of the observation area, the trails and the hydro electric portion. While he was doing the remodel of the hydroelectric plant he found and cleaned out the desk of the father of another friend and returned his personal items to the son. This place area was always where we went for dates in high school.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for the comment and the stories. That must have been a pretty unique place to grow up near!

[@jonament7409]

I’d like to add thank you so much for the wonderful channel. My wife and I watch all of your content and have used you videos to help us plan our National Parks journey. Cheers.

[@rossm7071]

Pops, hope the knee is doing better. Such an amazing place with Twin Peaks references and all. You all go to such amazing places. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures.

[@popshiking]

@rossm7071 Hoping to rehab it over the holidays. Gotta keep up with Josh!

[@rossm7071]

@@popshiking Ha. For sure. Glad to hear and hope for a speedy recovery. We all enjoy the both of you and your videos are the tonic we need for our busy lives. Happy Holidays to your lovely fam

[@popshiking]

@rossm7071 Thanks for the well wishes! Trying to work through some knee issues.

[@rossm7071]

@@popshiking Completely understand. I had a bad shoulder for a while and it hampered quite a few activities. Hope time heals your knees. I am currently watching you and Josh’s vlogs on Texas. I am taking my son on vacation there this summer. Great food and attraction advice as usual. You and Josh are one of the travel vlogs out there

[@rhondaz356]

Josh, you ALWAYS make every video so interesting, intriguing, and entertaining, as you capture the beauty of the place you're highlighting. Happy holidays to you, and your family... 🎄☃️🙏🏻👏🏻

You do such an excellent job & your enthusiasm for the beauty of nature is contagious. God is such an awesome Creator!✨️ It's also fun to see more of your family in your recent adventures...your twins are super-cute! Merry Christmas to you all from Korea!🇰🇷

[@ThroughMyLens]

It really is! I hope you can visit there sometime!

[@louise3993]

Twin Peaks was one of those quirky shows that you had to watch from the beginning. Lady with the log. Water falls were amazing. Be safe ❤😊❤

[@DVu-ki7nn]

I and my wife had been in Snoqualmie Falls in 2022, how beautiful It is. The hotel is amazing but we stayed in Seattle so we visited daytime only. i hiked down to the bottom of falls but I gave up after an half way because I had the kneel problem like your father, but the trail is beautiful too, thanks for your video.

[@kristinehurst8348]

Thank you for your videos .. I am a fan of yours .. you give thoughtful insights on your journeys .. with a relaxing tone set .. I fell like I’m traveling with you … this video is tops .. nice to meet your wife and adorable kids .. loved the hotel clips and walking tours ! Looking forward to future videos in ‘24

[@NAZARENEWATCHMEN]

A+ thank you very much. You have no idea what a stress reliver it is watching your videos. You have a beautiful Family, God bless you 🕊❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wow. I have never heard of this place before but it's now on the bucket list. Your babies are beautiful, mine are 28 and I miss them being little sometimes. Looks like I will have to put together a trip to WA soon! You really do a fantastic job editing and narrating the videos.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks! I can't imagine mine 28 but I am know it will be there before I know it! I hope you enjoy it if you go!

[@tallsheresco]

Such a beautiful family! you’re my favorite video guy! I’ve seen so many places I went as a kid , it made me so emotional. Great job you seem. so real and chill

[@jLutraveling]

great video. I hope Pops knee gets better soon.

[@ThroughMyLens]

I hope so too!

[@sammychicken4290]

Exquisit. Absolutely gorgeous. Your twins remind us of our 3 yr old grandchildren who are also twins. Thankyou.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Aww that’s awesome! Twins are crazy but so much fun!

[@jonathantitus2629]

Wow--I like to think we are well traveled (all 50 states and roughly 40 countries), and and we love the PNW and yet we had never heard of this lodge until now. It looks fabulous and it is now being added to our next planned trip to the area. Our next trip will not be at Christmas, but I am sure it will still be special and maybe one day we can make the jaunt at Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing this video and teaching about this place.

[@BrittanyLongdenPawsForBeer]

I have been there several times and never knew there was a boardwalk to the base of the falls. Thanks for sharing. Now I've got to go back to check out that boardwalk trail!

[@SmallWonda]

Looked very nice. Watched every episode of Twin Peaks, never missed a one!!!! Some years ago when my folks flew to Chicago from England, we then flew out to Seattle and we came up here, on to Leavenworth (was struggling back then), I guess we went up to Helena, MO, up into BC, all the way to Jasper, down through Hells' Canyon to Vancouver and over to Victoria & Vancouver Island, Nanaimo back to Seattle on the ferry. I did used to drag them around the place - well, you know the US, you don't get very long vacations so I had to make the most of the time. Thanks guys for refreshing the memories - am a long way South now, so shan't be retracing these footsteps - was glad I did what I did when I could! Good lesson to share! Keep safe & Merry Christmas to you ALL!

[@phxgidget]

Wow! This is one of my favorites- I'll have to put this place on my bucket list😊

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you liked it, it was such an epic spot!

Our pleasure!

[@billmoore7133]

I grew up about 30 miles from the falls as a kid you could swim in the area close to the falls. I have stayed in their largest suite and eaten in their best table at the lodge, (they do charge extra for it) still one of my favorite places to dine.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Beautiful! Love those kids!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏

[@kellyjohnson3617]

When I was a kid growing up in WA, we had a pie cherry tree. Let me just tell you that there is nothing better than a cherry pie made from those cherries. That part of the world is gorgeous. But it can be insanely bone chilling cold there this t8me of year. Glad you got to go as a family. Hope pops knees are feeling better. My mom and I stayed at paradise lodge that was built around the same time. It’s not luxury like Salish Lodge. No elevator, bathrooms and shower down the hall. But sinks and beds in every room. Right next to amazing trails and probably the best view of mt rainier that there could ever be. It’s in the rainier national park. It’s not roughing it per se but it’s like stepping back in time. One of the best memories I have with my mom who is 84, soon to be 85. If you haven’t stayed in that park, I encourage you to do so

[@johanna7254]

What a beautiful hotel and waterfall. I've always wanted to do a Twin Peaks "tour" in that area. You can actually visit the famous diner from the show too in North Bend! 😊

[@ThroughMyLens]

That’s awesome! I should have looked that one up

[@edwardlapsley2556]

It was the Mar T Cafe

[@edwardlapsley2556]

Now Tweeds

[@mixeddrinks8100]

didn't know this place existed... and only 30 mins from seatac... so cool you visiting all these historic lodges now and a waterfall to go with it. Pretty cool they have kettle and pour over coffee there, every hotel should replace cheap o plastic coffee machine and put in a stainless steel pour over kettle. Way more useful, make cup of ramen, hot coffee, hot cocoa, hot tea.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Agree 100% that pour over is the way to go for coffee haha

[@edwardlapsley2556]

I use to live in North Bend. I had a friend that took me down into where the turbines are. And looked out the end of the tunnel and look at the other power plant that you went around. Of course this was back in the 90's

[@robinowen3058]

In my backyard, or pretty close, go by the Salish Lodge at least once a month. Had breakfast there many years ago, it was delicious and fun.

As a huge Twin peaks fan, I'm a little offended that you didn't start the video mentioning this being a famous site for the fans. Just kidding, great video, as always.
