I would also recommend colonel Bob (small mountain), hurricane ridge, heart lake, and generally things closer to the mountainous interior. That's pretty much the only major thing that you missed since there are some grander views than storm king of mount Olympus and the baileys.
The Evergreen state lives up to its name. I love how green everything is. When I visited in late July, the sweet pea was covered in pink/purple blooms, which contrasts beautifully with the green. Even though July and August are the peak of summer travel season, the park did not feel crowded.
Born and raised in Washington. You can add Hurricane Ridge, an along Hood Canal the Hama Hama, Dosewallips, or Duckabush Rivers. The Sol Duc Hot Springs is another great place.
I live on the backdoor of ONP, You can go skiing to kayaking in 30 minutes. Weather is mild, no tornadoes, hurricanes, lots of hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting. I love it here and die here. I've been all over the US. I keep coming back "Home "!
I live on the other side of the Olympic National Park (Hood Canal). I love watching videos to see what others think of this beautiful part of the world. You did a great job showing the beauty and the fun, like perfect size skipping rocks! Keep up the good work! I will continue to watch.
Love this video. I love the background music, the explanations about the hoh forest trees. Well done video, thanks for making it funny too. Would love to see more videos from you guys. I can’t wait to visit Olympic now
Amazing guide, going to Seattle this thanksgiving week and this video makes reschedule my plans, definitely add Olympic NP to my week, Thanks!!! hope take great photographs there
I loved ya'lls video :) When in April did you guys go? I've bought tickets for beginning of April, but keep seeing comments on Reddit that everything will be covered in snow still, lol
After everything else that we saw when in Olympic, Hoh rainforest was somewhat of a letdown, not that it wasn't cool but, so much other stuff that was better.
You can not fly in the national park, but there are some areas outside the national park. But make sure you do a good amount for research before you fly. It can be a little confusing
I couldn't disagree more. Those areas have become tourist traps. I used to solo backpack the Olympics in the 1970's. Best 7 places? 1.Skyline Trail 2. Thousand Acre Meadows 3. Putvin Trail and Lake of Angels 4. Mildred Lakes 5. Burnt Mountain and Lake Angeles 6. Moose and Grand Lakes 7. Every where else that you can go to escape the crowds. Find PJ Lake.
We went in April!! This is a shoulder season so it was a lot less busy which we personally really enjoyed. Thanksgiving could be a good time, but I would make sure to check that all the things you would like to go visit are open.
I beg to differ with you this is GOD'S Country I've lived here all my life and will die here probably and it doesn't always rain here either Kraig from Port Angeles WA many people from around the world say so as well
Agreed… Worth noting that all of the logs @ Rialto (& other beaches around La Push) are accidentally discarded “timber” that rolled off the “ barges” shipping what was cut down the coast to California. Also, flying over the Cascades is heartbreaking. Often, the highways through the canyons will appear to be pristine (much of it is now protected), but flying over will expose what isn’t visible from ground level…. Most of the forests there have been clear cut. Call me a tree hugger, but I’m a firm believer that we need to be aware of the mistakes we’ve made, and do a much better job of managing resources.
Pro tip for making travel videos, viewers perfer to look at the scenery, not your face or the back of your companion, nobody cares about rock skipping talents. Disembodied voice is better than talking head. Most people don't think this is a movie starring you. They think this is a documentary on the subject of your video (Olympic national park). I liked your use of the map at minute 10:20-ish. Nobody cares about seeing your hand clap on the lens face. I did like that you described the hike distance and elevation gained and time elapsed. regards.
@@jch1276 I supposed taste is like a**holes, everybody has one, or is one (?) but having made over 120 videos of this type, I'd have to say, you're wrong from the perspective of what MOST people want. Apparently you like to watch a lot of TV, so these entertaining talking head shots is drilled into your brain cells. OK. I'm not changing my style. Oh, by the way, National Geographic, who makes the most of this kind of videos, and the best of these kinds of videos, disagrees with your opinion.
I guess I should’ve known by your title using the most overused word in these travel Vlogs AMAZING that you weren’t actually gonna give an authentic review. You lost me at Hoh is worth visiting. The rainforest/cloud forest in Costa Rica are worth visiting hoe is just a bunch of moss.
You managed to hit almost all of the cliche attractions of ONP but managed to miss the real essence of the park that can only be experienced by in depth exploration of area not featured in UA-cam videos. Too bad. Come back and really get to know the park. You won't regret it.

Really captured the evergreenery of the PNW, this is its natural state - wet, windy, remote, and pristine

Thanks for the insight, any recommendations on fishing spots?
@@tonycuriel5948 If there’s water, drop a hook
The green and yellow scummy foam comes to the entire pacific coast starting in about August, when the weather is warmest, FYI.
Olympic National Park looks beautiful!
ONP is so beautiful!! Can’t wait to go back🩵

@@tonycuriel5948 The Straits of Juandfuca (salmon, halibut) Elwah river, Hoh river, to many places to list.enjoy!
Olympic National Park is beautiful. Nice job capturing the beauty. For sure on my bucket list.

Beautiful video ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much!
This is beautiful 😍 4:58
bro you remind me of some of my friends. i don’t know why but just how you talk and carry yourself. follow for the good vibes
Audio on top of storm king is why they make wind protectors for microphone.
Love this video. I love the background music, the explanations about the hoh forest trees. Well done video, thanks for making it funny too. Would love to see more videos from you guys. I can’t wait to visit Olympic now
Nice video!!!
Thanks!
Awesome overview! We are on our way there soon...!
I would definitely recommend trying out some hikes around hurricane ridge!! So so beautiful
Great video guys! Wife and I are going for our anniversary and this helped a ton. Gonna try and convince her on mt storm king
Glad it was helpful! Yes you should try and do mt storm king
This was so helpful. Thank you!!!
I wish these travel video specify what month they visit the park vs just saying spring.
He said April 🙃
Amazing guide, going to Seattle this thanksgiving week and this video makes reschedule my plans, definitely add Olympic NP to my week, Thanks!!! hope take great photographs there
Well done.
Perfect video !!!
Looking forward to visit the park !!
Thank you, and thanks for watching ❤️
Both are so cute. Meg you’re so fit ! Thank you for the video
You are so welcome!
I'm going to guess that Ian is a Libra and Meg is an Aquarius.
Thank you for your video. We are going there in late March this year.
Welcome to the Olympic peninsula: Do you want to hike along the beach? No? Well your other option is to hike up a mountain--sorry, that's all we got.
And take in the gray skies.
I think a Must Do is tidepooling there. Either Beach 4 or Salt Creek.
I loved ya'lls video :) When in April did you guys go? I've bought tickets for beginning of April, but keep seeing comments on Reddit that everything will be covered in snow still, lol
How many days did u guys stay in National park areas
After everything else that we saw when in Olympic, Hoh rainforest was somewhat of a letdown, not that it wasn't cool but, so much other stuff that was better.
Lake Crescent was amazing, so clear and clean!!!
Now I want a Sullys burger, haven’t had one of those in years
Hahaha the best!
@@thetravelcoaches they’re pretty dang good! Looking forward to my trip back to the PNW this summer I miss home
Is it allowed there to make drone shots? I want to bring my mini3pro

What time of year was this?

What time of the year did you guys visit this park? Would it be a good part to visit during thanksgiving weekend?

My sisters child got mauled by wolves at rialto beach
There are no wolves in ONP
what the hell
Beautiful place, but the clear cutting surrounding ONP can be a big downer. Think stump farms.

Where did he miss? im headed up there now!
Roy won't tell you that. You gotta find that out for yourself...
What an unfair troll comment. Instead why not just offer ideas by what you mean.
This comes off as a very smug and arrogant comment. Maybe it wasn’t your intent, but that’s how it landed. Maybe offer your own insights?
