The ultimate Olympic experience is to take the next step and spend the night on the Olympus summit. City lights from Portland to Seatac to Vancouver and Victoria are visible and are spectacular glows in the distance in a sea of stars. In August-early September crossing the glacier isn't difficult, as all the hazards are exposed. Ropes, crampons, ice axes and minimal training are required.
I live in Port Hadlock, and I love some of the "entry level" hiking places we have over in this area. Marrowstone Island has some great places to walk. And I love the Larry Scott/Olympic Discovery trail coming out of Port Townsend and ending in Forks. I am hoping to one day be able to do that hike. Ive done the hike from 4 Corners to Port Townsend, and that is a really beautiful trail. When you are talking about the toll booths are you talking about getting a Discover Pass? I have a lot of ambitious dreams when it comes to my hiking but physical limitations that I have to deal with.
I think it’s amazing that you are working towards your dreams despite those limitations. That’s inspiring 🤍 when I’m talking about toll booths I am referring to the national park. You have to pay to get into the park in some places
I got to do Sol Duc and HOH hall of mosses. I also got to Lake Crescent and did hike but have no idea what trail i did...This video makes me want to go back and retrace my 1st trip to the Peninsula to do some other hikes!
Do you know if you can access the Lake Angeles trail head without tire chains in March? I see you said they moved the toll booth forward, so you have to pay, I wasn't sure if tire chains are required beyond that point.. I am coming from Florida for a few days, so i am trying to get as much info as possible.
Hi! I am here now to photograph a wedding and the road to Sol Duc Falls is still closed. The bride and groom did not know they closed the road. Could you recommend anything with scenery and possibly shorter than 2 miles?
My favorite is Hoh River Trail in the winter. It's so gloomy and nice. It's just so beautiful.
I agree! That one is very beautiful!
Yay!!!! I love watching your videos it’s inspiring
I’m so glad ❤️❤️
Nice video, stay safe. Great editing and video composition.

Hey, nice editing! Love your vlogs too. Definitely going to come back to this if I ever make it up there. 🍀🌲🍀
You should definitely make a trip sometime! It’s a pretty special place. Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
Ooo yay! you answered my question!! Thanks!
Of course!!
Hiking/kayaking around Lake Crescent is my favorite. And also near Lake Quinalt. I fish that area a lot of salmon too
We paddle board on lake crescent in the summer it’s my favorite!!
@@alexirossi That water is just so unreal too. We were at the punch bowl with the doggos
@@Jodoodman love the punch bowl!
@Eliot Baye Me and my wife love that area. We have done most of the hikes there. Always ready to go back

You should do it!! Follow your joy ❤️ watching my videos must mean your heart is calling you out here!
Any suggestions for seeing the Olympic Mtns when visiting in June 2023, given Hurricane Ridge closure? Thanks

The Lake Angeles trailhead is still in front of the toll booth. The road is almost always clear up to that point.
@@alexirossi That is awesome news. Thank you so much!
@@joshmann4575 always check road conditions before you head up, though! 😊

Yeah they tend to close that road in the off season. Maybe lake crescent area? Marymere falls trail or the surrounding area
