What a trip through memory lane...now you have someone to share your love of the great outdoors with. You're inspiring me to get off my duff and get into shape. Stay safe.
Breathtakingly beautiful, thank you for sharing this beauty. I've had trouble walking for years now and love to see people walk through these awesome parks etc... it's like I'm walking along with you.
Just moved to Washington and this video was a great introduction to my first hike in the PNW - Wallace Falls! Looking forward to many more and to seeing you on the trail one day :D
Just found your channel and I am loving your videos! Thank you for sharing. I now have a list of hikes to do and hikes to work towards. Great job capturing the gorgeous trails of Washington and a few other locations as well. Look forward to more videos.
Beautiful! I enjoy vlogging my hikes too. My husband and I were just talking about relocating to Seattle. I would love to explore the hikes up there more ❤️. I just found your channel. Looking forward to seeing more hiking vlogs! 👍
Nick & Jen, upon scrambling through the backcountry of outdoor videos that seem to flood RUclips, your site caught my eye. Mostly it was the series of hikes you had in the Olympic Mtns. My mountains, since the early 60's when I discovered the answer to that timeless 5yo question "is bear scat edible" but enough about me. I thoroughly enjoy ALL your videos I have seen so far. You get right to the point of hiking and waste 10 to 15 minutes explaining the ins and outs of all your equipment...lol. I think we all know what a tent is and how many different ways is there really to making a fire? I appreciate the different perspectives you show and really enjoy the narration. I'm over a half century old and have been here my whole life and have hiked many places. You both may not know it, but you have a way of pumping new life into an old hike and I appreciate that. Keep up the good work, I'll be tailing you for awhile... :-)
Thank you for your kind words, Ron! There's something special about being out in the mountains here in the PNW. Hopefully we can capture the experience and look back on these videos and remember how amazing it was to hike that trail or summit that mountain. :)
Love finding great informational videos like these on the Trails! I'm from Indiana so our hiking is way different from yours! Helping us scale what we can handle when we come up for a visit!
The video and audio on your clip is great. But as the guy who recorded it. you must admit it cannot capture the smell and feeling. Whenever I go into the forests anywhere. I am always overpowered by how deeply a forest touches your inner being. Always come out of the woods feeling richer.
Did a solo hike up to Lake Wallace a few years back now... Got a very late start from the trail head and knew nightfall was going to come long before I could make camp at the northern edge of the lake. As darkness set in I felt a pain at the top of my head. Sure enough I had been 'swooped' by a barrow owl. That I would encounter these predatory beasts was not a surprise... that it would follow me along the trail for the next 1/2 mile certainly was. To call them 'territorial' would be an understatement. Next day I set out North to find an elusive lake that may or may not exist, compliments of some random comment from wta.org. Never did find the mystery lake by, but I did almost manage to get myself lost. Heading back to the trail head via the old railroad trail I spied a cougar at the base of the ravine some 50ft down from the trail. There were 2 other hikers in the vicinity who saw the same thing. They pulled out their phones to take pictures whilst I hastily moved along, trying to create as much distance between myself & those who could run slower than I. P.S. If this story seems to fanciful check the ranger reports. don't stop exploring, just be prepared for what you might find.
It's clear where Wash. St. spends its money on parks. They sprung for the cost of signs = i.e. "You Can Fall Off These Cliffs & DIE If You Get Too Close To The Edge." After 2 people Drowned at Palouse Falls on the East Side this year. Thanks.
Great video! We know exactly what to expect now. Thanks you!
i was up there last week
@2:20. Entering Jurassic Park!,
Bro Jens bad af
Wallace falls was my first PNW hike as well. The entire world of hiking and backpacking opened up to me from there.
Awesome to hear! It was recommended to me when I first moved here and have kept the recommendation tradition ever since. :)

Nice video. You guys are fun to virtually hike with. Beautiful place.
Thank you, Jason! :)
Wallace falls is so dark and depressing. So many better hikes around there.
Twin Falls is a much better hike.
You guys are amazing! thank you so much for posting this wonderful. video😎😄🗻
Breathtakingly beautiful, thank you for sharing this beauty. I've had trouble walking for years now and love to see people walk through these awesome parks etc... it's like I'm walking along with you.
Thanks for uploading. I like how you said how long it took for each hike.
Finally made it to this hike after watching the video, it was a great trail and worth the drive from the South Sound.
Just moved to Washington and this video was a great introduction to my first hike in the PNW - Wallace Falls! Looking forward to many more and to seeing you on the trail one day :D
Thanks Elly, it's going to be prime hiking season soon. So hopefully you've been training up! See you on the trails. :D
Pretty cool. Thanks for this. We’re excited to do this end of this month. 👍🏼

This video is my favorite part :p
Your reply is my favorite part. ;p
Too funny when you mentioned WF was your first hike. It was the first one I took the wife on as well. Always a cool place

Quite lovely....problem with cattle out there?
No Sir. Most Cattle are kept in the valleys or out in the pastures.
Just looked like a cattle gate on the trail
Patrick Caple Ahhh, no. That's to stop horses and dissuade mountain bikers.
I see....guess they use em fer cows here in Arkansas
What type of camera are you using? Go Pro? BTW, love all of the vids. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you! Yes this is all shot with a GoPro Hero 4.
Thank you for the video! I'd like to find a place I could get lost in and not found, any suggestions? Thanks again for your videos!
Are u burying a body or something?

how is the hike around this time of the year? Im off during the week, Tuesday thru Thursday. This looks like a nice hike for Tuesday.
