  • Your knowledge of these parks is amazing. I don’t know how you find time to be so well informed and to give the best tips. 🎉😂❤

    My wife and I went last year. Another very cool thing to do while in the area is to go WHALE WATCHING in the Puget Sound! Very cool experience if you need a day off from hiking!
  • @youngkreisler
    Thanks for a great intro! My daughter wants to go to UW, so we'll be going to Olympic quite a bit. :)
  • @ervinslens
    Fantastic list, so nicely filmed and put together my friend!
  • Coming from savannah GA for a vacation here for a week.. this my first time to this area this place makes me want to save up and move up this way.. I love the weather and I'm not use to the views...
  • @HillcrestVBS
    Great video! Really appreciate the map feature giving details about getting to the sights. My husband and I are in our 70’s and planning a first trip to the park in September. We’re not sturdy hikers and will have a dog with us. How many of the “ must sees” will we be able to access traveling with the dog?

    thanks for the vlog! Really helpful! Are there days of the week that would be less busy than others?
  • Thank you for sharing the video. I watched the Yosemite one because we're planning to take a trip there, but you have an amazing video and maybe we'll hit each one of those each year. 😉
