For me kahlaloch beach 3 and 4 and forks and Rialto beach and lake ozette are my favorites been going every two years since 1987 beautiful area thank you for your video
LOL as a native I wouldn't count on good weather until after the 4th of July, but from then until about mid September it's beautiful and the lakes are as warm as they'll get.
@@lindakearbey3965 It's normally ok, but can start getting iffy shortly after. But I actually like that time of year, tourist are gone and there are nice days here and there to take advantage of hikes and the Park.
I didn't know driving 2 hours and 30 min would be a smart thing to do while visiting but after watching your video it made me run and grab my keys to head out. Thank you!
thank you for this! came to Port Angeles months ago recuperating from a spinal injury. every day I look up at the mountains for motivation. great content, video quality! subscribing based on this video alone, cheers!
I was out there last Sunday. Rainy, cold and windy. And very beautiful. After it warms up/dries up a bit, I'll head back over for some longer hikes. Thanks for the video.
this would be my second trip in seattle with an RV. hope it's safe in Olympics park at Kalelock and alto beach . thank you for taking time out and sharing such a wonderful place video as it helps in seeing what we are planing into
Pretty good list of spots! Other spots I’d highly recommend are 2nd, Ruby and Shi Shi beaches, Sol Duc Falls and Lake Quinnalt (Awesome lodge, lots of massive old growth trees, bald eagles and elk around the lake). Staircase is on the Hood Canal side and not really good to plan into a normal Olympic trip, but if you are hanging out in hood canal I recommend checking it out!
Mount storm king was tough for me but I made it to the end of the maintained trail! Im pretty afraid of heights and steep drop offs. Sometimes I get vertigo. Note to those afraid of heights: don’t be afraid to push yourself just a little.
I have been all over these mountains since I was young, could give you loads of suggestions! Sadly these days I'm disabled.. So I have to stick to places I can bring my chair.. As a note on most the campgrounds they encourage you to bring your own wood, as fallen wood and such is a necessary part of the ecosystem and too many people foraging wood can damage the environment. But the drift wood on the beaches is free game! I remember staying out at the campground a little further up the road from the beach at Rialto and we would drive down to the beach every morning to gather wood and explore a bit before the crowds hit. Up that way there are also several hot springs! way worth visiting. I've always been fond of the dosewallups area. Miss hiking up to diamond meadows and big timber. Or furth up to the 7 lake basins. Which is quite a trip and not for beginners as the trails get quite steep. (one trail had a sign calling it cardiac ridge! but the views...) Sigh, so mad I haven't gotten to do any camping cause of the covid..
Worth it! it was up near the lake you stopped at with the lodge! Does cost to use it, but it is a lovely location. With a great trail just a little further up the road
Great vid. Thank you for posting. We are heading to this park next week when we leave Mt. Hood. I'm very excited. Being from thee east coast Olympic seems to be a more obscure NP to me. I know very very little about it and this vid was a nice intro for me. I am looking forward to Olympic and Mt. Rainier NPs so much! =)
@@forestdweller512 Dont worry. There is somthing much bigger than they are in there that will keep their asses in line if they get out of line... I have been in places that scare grown men... but that place at night gives me the creeps!
Thanks for sharing! We are heading to Olympic in late September - Deer Park Campground isn't something we'd heard of but think we will have to head up there to check out the views! What time of year were you visiting?
Nice video coming out next summer/fall. Well done and allot to look forward to I see. I think I'll come a week earlier than planned since seeing you visit.
Definitely worth it. Enjoy your time in Olympic! The Pacific Northwest in general is beautiful, so if you have extra time, you may want to check out Mt Rainier or the south side of the park. Lots to do
My daughter was just over there and it was truly amazing the weather was good and waves 🌊 at the beach was awesome. We plan on going on another trip soon
I lived between Port Angeles & Joyce just off of Route 112 for over six years. Fished the Elwa for steelhead. The Lyre for Rainbows & I even caught a Beardsley Trout out of Lake Crecent once. In fact I worked part time at the Fairholm General Store one summer. That was back in the days when Greenpeacers were chaining themselves to trees & loggers were cooking spotted owls on the exhaust manifolds of skidders, Lol. I blocked some ceder shake bolts in my day. At the same time I resented the big highline operations. It is a fact they were raping the old growth forests at that time & it was a crying shame. Here's a bit of little trivia: a lot of spruce was harvested directly from the Olympic National Forest during the first & second world wars. The light weight Spruce timber was used to build aircraft. Upon the forested slopes around Lake Crecent the remnants of notches for the springboards the loggers stood upon when they felled the trees can still be seen high upon the giant stumps that still remain. I was working a ceder salvage job on a big clear-cut just outside of the park border one summer. Me & a couple buddies (one a native member of the Klallam Tribe) spent the bulk of that summer in a little obscure campground somewhere along the Hoh. We ratted for ceder during the day & came back to our humble home in Hoh Forest at night. I did my dishes & bathed in the Hoh river daily for two months straight! Shaved my face using the side mirror of the old Chevy van I slept in. Those were some of the best days of my life! The Olympic National Forest is a part of my soul & I miss it deeply. Anyhow thanks for reading this. It's good to share memories with those who can truly appreciate them. I'm coming at ya from my birthplace in southwestern Pennsylvania nowadays. I hope to spend time in the Olympic Forest sometime again on this life's journey. Peace unto all who read this. Aho
We just came back from Kaloch Lodge and something we saw off Hwy 101 was The Cedar Tree. It is the most awesome tree ever. And about four years ago we went to Cape Flattery which is at the very tip of Washington. The trail is beautiful and the end of the trail gives some spectacular views into Canada. I would highly recommend both I have unreal pictures of the huge cedar trees that I could send you
Great video! I am planning a trip here this summer with some friends, and this was awesome! I feel like the girl in the video and I have the same energy when it comes to exploring nature (when she would just throw her arms up in the air at the beauty LOL). Anything to note about COVID restrictions much? Also, I've been looking for airbnb's that could be of a central enough location to drive to hikes everyday. Any suggestions??
Nice video! I was laughing my ass off when were reading "sorry mom". After watching your video I am thinking to go there for autumn color. Any suggestions about the best month to see colors?
I lived on the Olympic Peninsula, more specifically, La Push but have relatives who live on the Hoh River Reservation. The whole area is stunning and on average, we get 85" to 100" of rain per year w the maximum at 144". You saw some wildlife & over the years I've seen just about everything; bears, cougars, sea otters, fox & Big Foot!! Just kidding on the last one, just checking to see if you were paying attention!🤪

Thank you!! I filmed this entire video with a single camera and no color correction as an experiment. I used the DJI Osmo Pocket. I actually made an entire video about the Osmo Pocket on my other channel "Santrel Media". Check it out if you're interested! Thanks for watching!!
If it's not a holiday weekend and if you are able to get to the new campground early (like 9am) then you should be fine! Some campgrounds are larger/smaller or more/less crowded too, so if you can't get a spot, check out another campground
From the top of storm mountain can you see Port Angeles or only places like snug harbor, maple grove etc? I noticed when you got to deer park you were able to see the bay i gather thats port angeles?
You cant see to Port Angles from the top of Storm King. Its is mostly overlooking Lake Crescent there. And from Deer Park it looks like you are looking down into Sequim.
Like the video, but at the end you definitely should not be poking the animals as was mentioned. I am pretty sure that the part that "shoots out" are the internal organs of the animal. It is an extreme defense mechanism that leaves the animal in a very weak state and should never be done. Furthermore, most of those rocks and seastacks should not be climbed on as they are usually habitats for seabirds or other animals. That one in particular looked barren but that may be exactly because of this. In deception pass, there is a nice wade pool trail that is sectioned off because historically it was such a popular area that all the foot traffic killed the marine life there. After decades of rehabilitation it is finally recovering, but just please everybody remember to treat these areas with care and that they are delicate.

I visited Seattle once, and I will never forget Olympic National Park. Hands down one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to.
I went to Seattle 4 times and once passed by Olympia. I want to go to live there and visit those beautiful places 🤗🤗🤗
When I was in Seattle I was at Pier 56 restaurant and across bay it was clear gold sunset on Olympic mountains it was gorgeous.
I have hiked the Hoh Rain Forest out to the bottom of Mount Olympus and back. It was beautiful. I spent 5 days in there.
For me kahlaloch beach 3 and 4 and forks and Rialto beach and lake ozette are my favorites been going every two years since 1987 beautiful area thank you for your video
Washington is such a beautiful underrated state. I’m from NY. I’m in love with its beauty.
I just moved to Washington. Definitely looking forward to exploring this park. Thank you for the amazing insight!!
Thanks for watching! It's a beautiful Park :)
LOL as a native I wouldn't count on good weather until after the 4th of July, but from then until about mid September it's beautiful and the lakes are as warm as they'll get.
Yeah I understand the rainy season sometimes lasts into late spring/early summer. This year was especially nice and dry though, wasn't it?
@@lindakearbey3965 It's normally ok, but can start getting iffy shortly after. But I actually like that time of year, tourist are gone and there are nice days here and there to take advantage of hikes and the Park.
I'll be camping there next summer.
Thank you for doing this. What a great way to share with those of us that can't hike anymore
I didn't know driving 2 hours and 30 min would be a smart thing to do while visiting but after watching your video it made me run and grab my keys to head out. Thank you!
Nature=inspiration.
Thanks for Sharing and I plan to Visit Next Week! Can't Wait!
This guy is spending his money on seeing America! God bless you brother. Come see big bend in Texas :)))
2020 might be the year for that! Its been on my bucket list for a while!
Big Bend is cool, worked there in 2015
I enjoyed going up to the mountain I had a bird land on my head. Lol I also loved the clear water and fishing.
I enjoyed Hurricane Ridge and Staircase also. Thank you for the video.
Just got back yesterday .weather was cold and rainy , but the sights are incredible! My suggestion is dress I. Layers
thank you for this! came to Port Angeles months ago recuperating from a spinal injury. every day I look up at the mountains for motivation. great content, video quality! subscribing based on this video alone, cheers!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed this video! Hopefully, I'm working on a few more good ones before the end of 2019
Be careful you crazy kids out on those rocks. But absolutely stunning! Thank you!
Wow, what an amazing place to visit! Thank you for posting.
I just want to say, thank you for pronouncing Kalaloch the correct way!!! 😊
I was out there last Sunday. Rainy, cold and windy. And very beautiful. After it warms up/dries up a bit, I'll head back over for some longer hikes. Thanks for the video.
Great vid. I'm in love with WA. This just makes me more so.
Thanks! It's a beautiful state and a beautiful national park. Definitely one of my favorites!
I see the wonderful Olympic mountains every day 😁 have a view of the Brothers from my living room
Wow that sounds amazing!
I love this. Both of us are handicapped so can,t do travel but this ia so informative we do not feel the need. Nice. Thank You.
this would be my second trip in seattle with an RV. hope it's safe in Olympics park at Kalelock and alto beach . thank you for taking time out and sharing such a wonderful place video as it helps in seeing what we are planing into
Glad you enjoyed my backyard! 🙏♥️🇺🇲
Great video! We are heading up there next week. I know, not the best time of year, but I imagine it will still be beautiful.
Just beautiful!! definitely will return sometime soon
amazing video lot of informative tips on camp ground . looking forward to visiting soon

I am heading up to the olympic nat. park in a couple of months... THank you!!!
Awesome video. One suggestion. Try to do a video of the Southern and Eastern sides. It's very diverse. Hope to see more soon.

Hike Cape Alava to Shi Shi Beach. Best in the world! Also, North Beach collecting glass is cool.

"South Fork" Hoh rainforest trail is the BOMB!
Stop giving away the good spots Thomas.

Moved to Washington a few years ago and have been meaning to get out to this park. Thanks for the tips!
Enjoy your visit!
Kalaloch is pronounced ( Clay lock) by locals. Very beautiful area.
Probably my favorite Washington State beach. A nice campground and it's where the Tree of Life is located.
My company owns the lodge. I'm considering transferring there
My daughter was just over there and it was truly amazing the weather was good and waves 🌊 at the beach was awesome. We plan on going on another trip soon
Amazing footage! And great tips. I cannot wait to visit home in the wall!
i go there every year. 1st camp at lewis meadow then i hike up to blue glacier. :) It is fun i love it.

We pronounce it like "Clay-Lock"
Hi i was just watching your video when you went to olympic peninsula and omg ny fiance and I love to go there every yr of summer.
Great video!
Thank you! Olympic might be my new favorite national park
Also, lover's lane trail in the same parking lot as sol duc hot springs is a amazing 6 miles around trip trail
Thank you for sharing !

How do the first come first serve camp sites work?
How about going to the park in the winter?
yeah but what about Buckwas? you know?....Skukum....any sightings?
What was this filmed with?
Awesome video!
Thank you!! I filmed this entire video with a single camera and no color correction as an experiment. I used the DJI Osmo Pocket. I actually made an entire video about the Osmo Pocket on my other channel "Santrel Media". Check it out if you're interested! Thanks for watching!!
Would love to connect with him somewhere and do it as a group lolor someone should start that if it hasn't been done
Love this idea
Exactly when is the dry season?
What song was playing at 6:50?
PSA: Don't climb on the seastacks. I can't speak for that particular one, but most of them have nesting birds for the year and it is not allowed.
Great video
Thank you!
What Pass do you need to travel through there?
What sound clips did you use in this vlog???
How many days did it take for u to go sight seeing all this? If anyone knows comment pls?
What is better? Mount Rainer or Olympic.
what time of the year did you go brother?
There is a trail that goes over the top of Hole-in-the-Wall. You don't have to scramble over the rocks...
A tiny look at a HUGE Park with 600 miles of hiking trail!
I am going there next summer. So many of the campgrounds are 1st come ...I'm worried about finding a spot to stay. is it typically hard to find one?
If it's not a holiday weekend and if you are able to get to the new campground early (like 9am) then you should be fine! Some campgrounds are larger/smaller or more/less crowded too, so if you can't get a spot, check out another campground
Do some research. There's not of campgrounds to choose from depending on your preference. Along the Elwha is usually not crowded
How much did it cost you the whole trip
Are you related to Nate O'Brien? He makes financial help videos here on youtube. You sound and look like him.
Wondering which season you got there? spring?
The video made mr Too cold 🥶
Memorial day weekend!
lol when he said "dry season." 😂😂😂
The cullens don't go there
You said god bless me good thing I am sitting down thank you, you differenty christin its heather
What time of year did you go out there?
Memorial day weekend!
From the top of storm mountain can you see Port Angeles or only places like snug harbor, maple grove etc? I noticed when you got to deer park you were able to see the bay i gather thats port angeles?
Yes I believe that was what I was seeing from up there
You cant see to Port Angles from the top of Storm King. Its is mostly overlooking Lake Crescent there. And from Deer Park it looks like you are looking down into Sequim.
I’m confused how far away is forks from this?
Google Maps can give you a better idea, but it's basically right on the NW corner of the park
Sand dollars? I've lived on the Olympic Peninsula for 20 years and never found a sand dollar on the beach!
When were you there?
Memorial day weekend, 2019
those roads yall drive on look so skinny, is it a loop to drive on or do you just hope no one else is coming down while you drive?
The high peak campground (I believe it was Deer Park) was not a loop. Just a very skinny and scary road. Gotta risk it for the biscuit, as they say
Camera not in focus
Was going great but you skipped Mora and the north coast.
Yeah that was on our list but we ran out of time
I'd say going to rain forest on a rainy day would be better
Queets is one of the very best places. Not to many people go there.
