Love your presentation! Tips are very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this informative video!
You're welcome!
Very informative. Thank you for putting this together!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I’ve been there twice and am going back in June. Very good advice… I went blind and had to learn the hard way… but I love to drive!
That's a good park to visit if you love to drive :) I hope you have a great return trip!
A professor at a local university just told me about your channel and I love it. We are heading to Oregon (Portland area I think) for a senior trip. You have any videos in Oregon? Thanks
I don't have much at this point -- Crater Lake is the only national park in Oregon! But we have covered that area a few times on our Exploring the National Parks Podcast: dirtinmyshoes.com/podcast
Having visited several different National Parks, Olympic is in my top three. Great tips, especially breaking up where you stay if you can. We spent two nights at Sol Duc Hot Springs and two nights at Kalaloch. The beaches were so unique. The large drift wood on the foggy beaches provided a very eerie landscape at times. The difference at Ruby beach between low and high tides was dramatic. I don’t think there is a part of the park I did not like, but planning is important. Again, great tips.
That's awesome! I'm glad you loved it so much!
I love this park. It's many parks in one. It's gotten expensive and you have to book way in advance, but staying at the Lake Crescent Lodge and the Lake Quinault Lodge is a treat if you can afford it.
Yes, I love those beautiful lodges! Some of the best in the parks!
I love Lake Quinault, but the service and food has suffered… but I would say that for all of North America and Canada… the baby boomers are taking over
Hi Oh geez I am the first to give a comment. Nice job on your videos!!!
Thanks!
Really enjoy your videos Ash! Quick question: if you are planning on camping with a trailer, and you want to move campgrounds so you are staying in two parts of the park (e.g., near Port Angeles and Forks), how difficult will it be to find parking with a trailer at places en route (e.g., Lake Crescent, Sol Duc)? Thanks!
It's pretty challenging :( Lake Crescent has some larger parking spaces for vehicles with boat trailers, but you'd have to get there quite early to snatch up one of those. Sol Duc Falls doesn't really have anywhere to park with a trailer in tow, so I personally wouldn't try to make it all the way back there. We do usually camp in both Port Angeles and Forks when we go, but we usually don't plan on doing much as we drive between the two...we usually either have longer days and try to get to those places while we're staying at one or the other, or we book in an extra day for moving the trailer. I hope that helps!
@@DirtInMyShoes That totally helps. I will adjust accordingly. Thanks so much!
