Washington is known for some of the best national parks in the USA, and we’re kicking off our adventures in this remarkable state with Olympic. This park easily stood out from all the places we’ve visited on our road trip, as we hadn’t yet hit a rainforest up until this point. We had the best time walking through a maze of lush green forests, searching for bright yellow banana slugs, and falling asleep to the sound of rain pattering on our van roof. We are so happy that our rain guards are finally living up to their potential— Washington looks like its gonna be a rainy one!

Follow along to see where we head next.

    You two radiate so much light, joy, and love. I’m so happy when I watch your videos. Also, I have to pause every minute to Shazam your music selection 😩

    It actually is a rainforest. It's classified as a temperate rainforest. I agree. I've always found it beautiful, almost mystical. You should see it in spring and fall. It's definitely rainy but sometimes it's just a mist everywhere. It's like it's out if a fantasy world with the mist, giant tree, fallen trees, ferns everywhere, moss covered everything, the wildlife like the Pacific Tree Octopus.

    The music, the water and mist, and the lush green vibe encapsulates just why I love living in WA so much! 🌿If you ever have the chance, the fall is also such a lovely time to visit - the larches in the North Cascades NP are absolutely beautiful. And Mt Rainier is an iconic sight for anyone living in the Seattle area - you just know that you're home :)
  • How beautiful..I live in eastern Washington and it is beautiful minus the ocean.
