    I'm chuffed, good find, loving these vids. I am SOOOO into geology thanks to a teacher called Nick Zentner who works at CWU, and lives in Ellensburgh and streams on UA-cam. He is an excellent teacher and has opened up a whole new world to me called the Pacific Northwest. So now my one goal in life would be to come over and see for myself. I just can't comprehend what it must feel like to be there but things like your uploads definitely help, so thankyou. Much love and respect from the UK.

      Thank you very much for the support! The Pacific Northwest offers truly unique and inspiring landscapes. When you visit (not if!) you'll absolutely love it, just be sure to have plenty of time scheduled to witness all the great spots. Even better is that here in Washington State we have three National Parks, this could provide some great application with your geology!

      I generally use a mix between Google Maps and Gaia Maps with various overlays. Typically try and find public land with open forest roads and just go from there. Some are hits and some are misses, but you discover all new areas with each trip. I also even just search general known trails and see what else is nearby.
      Google Earth is also your best friend with an overview of the landscape. But it just boils down to getting out and discovering by trial and error haha.
      Have fun out there and safe travels 👊🏼
