Hello Ismail, thank you for your comments. Please keep in mind this video was shot 6 or 7 years ago. While most of the info is still relevant, some things may have changed. Be sure to check the US Forest Service website. Fs.usda.gov/r6. We’re glad you enjoyed our video. We hope you get the chance to come to America. Best to you, John

Thank you for the comment, happy you enjoyed the video. There is so much more I would like to shoot in the Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. We only scratched the surface, I would like to do an hour show, and even then wouldn't have enough time to do that beautiful part of the state justice!
