--------
The Olympic Peninsula is a large arm of land in western Washington that lies across Puget Sound from Seattle, and contains Olympic National Park. It is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the east by Hood Canal. Cape Alava, the westernmost point in the contiguous United States, and Cape Flattery, the northwesternmost point, are on the peninsula. Comprising about 3,600 square miles, the Olympic Peninsula contained many of the last unexplored places in the contiguous United States.
Olympic National Park is on Washington's Olympic Peninsula in the Pacific Northwest. The park sprawls across several different ecosystems, from the dramatic peaks of the Olympic Mountains to old-growth forests. The summit of glacier-clad Mt. Olympus is popular with climbers, and hiking and backpacking trails cut through the park's rainforests and along its Pacific coastline.

First time viewer here- great video and a nice way to showcase parts of the Olympics! I live in Poulsbo and go over there often- in some ways it can be more frustrating than eastern WA or the Cascades since there aren’t many *through roads*, there are more dead ends, and it definitely gets overgrown! But I still love it.

Hey everybody! This was a super fun trip that we took starting on August 19th and we came home on the 22nd. We left after work (around 5PM) on the 19th and took the Edmonds/Kingston ferry. We then headed south through Quilcene and started the trail around Skokomish / Purdy Canyon. We struggled to find a campsite that first night, almost every dead-end we turned down was gated for logging operations. At around 10PM we ended up at a "gate" (which wasn't a gate) and was just blocked off with cinderblocks, so we just decided to camp there. The next morning (Friday), after a quick breakfast and coffee, we headed out and continued west on the trails. The trails for the most part weren't super thrilling, but they did offer some nice views; however, it was extremely foggy at some points which was dissapointing because I'm sure there was some epic views that we missed out on. There were some really tight trails, and there were some cliff-side trails, nothing super sketchy though - although there was a few spots where I wouldn't want to take a full-size through. We got to Wynochee Falls and headed north a bit and ended up camping on a mountain next to Capitol Peak. We had a great night there and had a little adventure through the woods, trying to find some wood for a campfire, since it was cold and wet. The next morning (Saturday), we headed further west and hopped on highway 101 to head north up through Forks. The goal was to get to this dried riverbed campsite that Micah camped at around this time last year. It was an epic campsite and we had a great time. It was nestled somewhere around Grindstone Pass and Bigler Mountain. The next morning (Sunday) we had a quick breakfast and headed home to spend some time with the family before the work week started.
