We live just outside the boundaries of the Olympic National Park in Port Angeles. The lush rain forests are rich in light, dark, and verdant colors. A photographer's delight. We are starting to see new snow up in the higher peaks. Beauty abounds. I'm happy to see you enjoying our region.
That was a great camp spot. Nothing like falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. What incredible scenery you captured on your hike. Thank you for another great video.
I hiked around in the Hoh River Valley way back in 1995. It really is a "squatchy" area for sure. The whole peninsula is quite beautiful and has lots to see whether you are on foot hiking or camping at one of their breathtaking campgrounds
In forest areas make sure to look up a lot also , cats loves tress and pounce on their pray . They lay flat and make no sound so every step along the way use all your senses . They are so darn fast .! Semper fi
Welcome to The Evergreen State!!! Lifelong resident of the Olympic Peninsula and love the Puget Sound, Olympic and Cascade Mountains! Glad to see you enjoying yourself.
I had an experience, watching the soup get made. When the onions and garlic got pushed into the olive oil, I could smell it. That was a very fun experience. Good Morning. Thanks for the soup.
The Hoe River Trail was so pretty with the ferns and mossy looking trees. Very nice camping spot too. The soup looked so good ! Enjoyed the video. You did a great job on it.
New Subscriber :-) Catherine, what an amazing lady you are. I am watching your trips through the Wind River Range in Wyoming. I live near the Snowy Range , Laramie Wyoming, and I want to visit Pinedale near the Wind River Range. And your filming is absolutely beautifully done. Very steady camera shots of the landscapes, and at the camp sites. You project a very calm personality and a peaceful atmosphere, with stunning views, and lovely music. And how brave and independent you are! Thank you for your wonderful hard work. Take care :-)
Your Hoh backpacking trip in 2018 was the first of your videos that I watched, so it's fun to see you back! I live on the north side of the Olympics and am so grateful for these forests, beaches, and mountains.
Thanks Cat for sharing your latest adventure. You campsite by the water was beautiful. I love sleeping with the sound of braking waves, very peaceful. Take care, watch out for the Big Cats, they are not as nice as the Cat we all know and love. Have a wonderful stay.❤🎃
Hi Cat! I just started the vid, paused to say I like the feeling you create with the repetitive opening coffee prep scene because I have my fresh coffee when I sit down each Sunday to watch - it's like we are having coffee together lol 😆 I know that probably sounds silly, but really, that little coffee pot is like your opening trademark, it's just neat! I don't know what you will be saying about cougars yet I'm not that far in, but I have wondered in the past if you have a game plan for encounters with dangerous animals because so many of your hikes you have mentioned bears in the area or hoisted food up in a bag to discourage foraging 🐻. I assume you know how to handle yourself but I always pray for you to be safe out there! Thanks for these fun videos, I really look forward to them! Kind of like I'm building up to doing something similar with my cute little 24 footer Grand Design Imagine XLS BHE21. So far the driveway is the majority of my getaways because I don't want to leave my cats lol
The Olympic peninsula. God's sacred forest. Inside the Olympics park you will see the original first growth trees and untouched landscape. Truly magic.
Absolutely beautiful scenes and hike. So glad you had a more populated trail to hike. I don't know why but it is so calming for me to watch you make your morning coffee and breakfast. I catch myself smiling when you start the vid off with that. Odd, but that's just the way I roll. As always, we love your vids and following along with you. Thanks for bringing us. Stay safe and enjoy!
Now that the weather has changed, I've noticed that videos of the western coastal areas are becoming common. And after getting acclimated to the change in weather, a few brave Tubers will return to film the beauty of Winter and to continue their adventures. Take care and stay warm.
The last time I heard of a cougar warning was in a bar many years ago! 😛 But seriously, it was a nice stroll thru a lush forest and then the sunset on the beach. Best of both worlds. 👍 Happy there wasn't a cat fight!
Truly we were transported to another world ! Timber ( former jungle dweller) perker her are right up ! Boy you supper looked scrumptious... you go girl.!
Another beautiful video, Cat. I love the plant closeups and mountain views. Such interesting trees with that huge root system, and the hanging "moss?" I might try that neato recipe too. Thanks for all your work!!
Love the watershed and bioregional aspects you described. Ecological context enriches the narrative and expands the mindset from arbitrary maplines to include the physical layout of the landscape and the life it grows.
The scenery of that trail is amazing! While I know the cougar risk was high, I couldn’t help expecting either a Sasquatch or … a dinosaur to push through the trees. It reminded me of Jurassic Park! 😁😁 YUM! That meal looked super yummy. Now, what can I cook for supper?
Again beautiful video Catherine and enjoying watching too and the music is amazing to anyway 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😎 and you be safe out there too AWESOME VIDEO Catherine 😎😃👍❤️❤️
The HOH river canyon rainforest is better than the New Zealand Milford Trak! It is the long approach for climbing Mt. Olympus! Thanks Catherine for filming this complete eco system!
Catherine, You really do make beautiful videos with lots of variety and wonderful music selection. Also a real inspiration to get into the lovely outdoors. Take care on your next hikes :-) Cheers, RJ
Good I’m glad you decided to take the spruce tree trail. Just to be on the safe side with the Cougar warning. The trees look amazing. It reminds me of Christmas tree spruce. I love pine trees the best for the smell. It just smell good and fresh.
Wow great camping spot at the beach! I can tell you are loving the travel trailer much better than the truck camper. It's so important to be able to detach and be nimble when exploring. Great video, thanks.
Spectacular! You made my morning with your morning hike in this awesome forest! The way you worked with the light streaming through such lushness was absolutely beautiful! Can't wait for next week's adventure!
I'm fro NashvilleTn. and The Olympic Peninsula is my all time favorite place in the US. I've even had a 2 week stay in the town of Forks Washington. Amazing hiking in Hoh Rain Forest and beach hiking along with the best tidepooling . Im also a huge Twilight fan,lol. Thank you for sharing this trip.
I remember being out west and seeing signs warning of the bears and to not hike alone. I heeded those warnings! What great weather you were having! When I was there it was a little rainy. Right now here in Florida we are getting nice weather. Today is a beautiful sunny day and the windows are open!
Another magnificent morning with this majestic planet and Cat. Thank you for these moments and lowering my blood pressure. I'm becoming a patron today.
I would have loved to seen a cougar from a safe distance crossing the trail. Never been that far west, its such a beautiful area, you put out great videos thank you.
Thanks for sharing, Catherine. Crossing the foot bridge onto these trails is so peaceful. Beautiful, calming surroundings and it smells so good! Especially after rain. So much diversity in the park. Love it there. We have seen elk, deer and bear in the park but no cougars. We always wonder how many have watched us walk on by.
Another beautiful video Catherine! Sure glad you hiked with others in the vicinity given the warning. I've never seen a root ball that extensive before - impressive. Absolutely stunning sun beams and highlights along your trail - it made the autumn foliage and ferns look gorgeous! Safe travels!
You are right about the Cougar's being more of a threat than bears. I spent the summer in Alaska this year, I was more worried about moose than bears. Incredible views on that hike. thank you so much for getting that footage. Well you sure can cook, that soup looked great. If you ever get bored of hiking, you could do a video on the cameras you use and what editing software you use. CYA in the next one Cat
That cougar roaming around the trail respected that there was fellow Cat in the area and left you alone. 😁
Cats play with KatS !"!
Beautiful and surreal park, the wildlife makes it very interesting.
Ahhh...Sunday morning coffee with Cat! Ferns always make me feel like I'm in the right place. Thanks for hiking safely. 👍🇨🇦😎🥣🌿🌿🌿
Yes. Sunday morning coffee, Cats video, there is no better way to start your Sunday.
I did enjoy coming along. I'm an old man now. 20 years ago I would be wanting to hike with you.😊Salute👍
Cat, your videos always raise my spirits. Thank you for the weekly journey.
We live just outside the boundaries of the Olympic National Park in Port Angeles. The lush rain forests are rich in light, dark, and verdant colors. A photographer's delight. We are starting to see new snow up in the higher peaks. Beauty abounds. I'm happy to see you enjoying our region.
It's a beautiful area to live in.
So very atmospheric and scenic, loving the combination of audio and visuals. Music fits insanely beautiful!!!
Washington is a beautiful state. It’s nice you got some sunshine. Great shots and beautiful forest. Thanks again for taking us along.👍🏻
That was a great camp spot. Nothing like falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. What incredible scenery you captured on your hike. Thank you for another great video.
Your scenery videos always amaze me! Its all so beautiful! Thank You!

Another good Sunday morning; coffee and a great video from Catherine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎😎😎😎😎
JOY! That is what your videos bring. Another beautiful location 💜
In forest areas make sure to look up a lot also , cats loves tress and pounce on their pray .
They lay flat and make no sound so every step along the way use all your senses . They are so darn fast .!

Lovely video. The scenery, your voice over, and the delightful music come together creating a wonderful experience.
Breathtaking rain forest 🌳. Plenty of Keebler elf trees!! If you find Edward Cullen from Twilight send him my way !! Super video, Cat. 👍🏻🙋🏼♀️🧛♂️
Welcome to The Evergreen State!!! Lifelong resident of the Olympic Peninsula and love the Puget Sound, Olympic and Cascade Mountains! Glad to see you enjoying yourself.
Beautiful as always. We love and appreciate all the wonderful places you take us.🙂💜👍👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing Catherine. Beautiful photography and video. Turns out you were the only "Cat" (short for Catherine) out there. Glad you were safe.
Aww beautiful scenery and the warmth of the ocean is very awesome 👌 be careful and enjoy, thanks for taking us along, o..hello from NM as well 😊
Thanks again Cat, the quality of your videos is unsurpassed must have good equipment to be sure along with great editing skills.
Godspeed.
Cougar Warning , yes indeed !
I had an experience, watching the soup get made.
When the onions and garlic got pushed into the olive oil, I could smell it.
That was a very fun experience.
Good Morning. Thanks for the soup.
That’s awesome. Thank you!
Washington's National Parks are one of the main reasons I still live here. Thank you for filming this beautiful scenery.
Great camping spot and such a beautiful forest 😍👍🏻
Such a beautiful area!
One of my fav parts of my home state, WA, where I grew up. Glad you got to enjoy more of that rugged coast snd mossy rainforest
What a great view Catherine to wake up too! I love the scenery. The sun rising. It doesn’t get any better than this.
I love these videos. Beautiful shots. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! That tortilla soup looks fantastic!
This is my definition of "getting away". Beautiful sceneries.
Love curly hair!! Definitely, You should style it like this more often. It makes you look younger and fresh
The Hoe River Trail was so pretty with the ferns and mossy looking trees. Very nice camping spot too. The soup looked so good ! Enjoyed the video. You did a great job on it.

Thank you so much Maxine!
I hiked that Hoh River trail about 35 years ago. Almost made it to the Blue Glacier.
Beautiful video as usual. You are in my neck of the woods, and you do the area justice. Enjoy your adventure!
so serene and peaceful
Beautiful country, hike, and soup-thanks for sharing. This is one part of the country that I haven't visited, makes me want to go and explore.
Love the trees, sounds, and the little cat-a-piller. Thanks for sharing!! Time for hot chocolate. Have a nice day!
Yeah it's nice up there I live in Olympia
Gorgeous! I love the North Coast.
Great camping spot and such a beautiful forest. Thanks for sharing Cat!
Your Hoh backpacking trip in 2018 was the first of your videos that I watched, so it's fun to see you back! I live on the north side of the Olympics and am so grateful for these forests, beaches, and mountains.
Wonderful production as always. What a campsite.
I love the PNW!
Thanks Cat for your always amazing videos.
Cougar warning!!! Cat is that you? 🥰
Thanks Cat for sharing your latest adventure. You campsite by the water was beautiful. I love sleeping with the sound of braking waves, very peaceful. Take care, watch out for the Big Cats, they are not as nice as the Cat we all know and love. Have a wonderful stay.❤🎃
Thank you Ken. Happy Halloween! Have a great day.
Thank you for your beautiful video 📸. I use to work at kalaloch lodge in the Olympic national Park I miss it. So thanks!!! Safe travels
You are right 👍 the scenery is beautiful. I just love 💞 it.
I agree with you 100% - Cougars are much more scary than bears! Thanks for brightening my morning with the beautiful scenery of the Pacific Northwest.
Lots of moss, looks like it gets a fair share of rain. Beautiful 🤩

Love the headline tag Catherine…sounds like a real adventure 🏴
One of your best cinematographic vids. Thanks for the effort!
Thank you for waking to another one of your spectacular Sunday morning videos. I have never been to that area, and enjoyed what you shared.
Beautiful as always, Thanks, the Hoh river looked very low
Thank you for sharing another part of ou beautiful country.

Love the watershed and bioregional aspects you described. Ecological context enriches the narrative and expands the mindset from arbitrary maplines to include the physical layout of the landscape and the life it grows.
Stationed in the Navy in a little town of Keyport, Wa. Always enjoyed taking Highway 101 on a loop around the National forest.
The scenery of that trail is amazing! While I know the cougar risk was high, I couldn’t help expecting either a Sasquatch or … a dinosaur to push through the trees. It reminded me of Jurassic Park! 😁😁 YUM! That meal looked super yummy. Now, what can I cook for supper?
I did laundry in Forks once. I had a job in Makah and was staying in Sekiu. Beautiful country. Thanks for showing us your experiences there.
Good Morning Catherine. I always enjoy your beautiful work! Have a wonderful week!
Thank you Joyce. You too!
Yes Catherine The Next Adventure is Gonna be Great
Great video, brought back memories when I visited forks about 17yrs ago loved that town.

Once again such beautiful scenery and what an awesome adventure. As always thank you for allowing us into your world, seeing it through your lens.

Good I’m glad you decided to take the spruce tree trail. Just to be on the safe side with the Cougar warning. The trees look amazing. It reminds me of Christmas tree spruce. I love pine trees the best for the smell. It just smell good and fresh.
Good Morning Catherine! Gorgeous views. Sasquatch was camera shy.
I love the Forks area. It's spectacular.
Love me some coffee with Cat, just not cougars, looked like a really fun hike, thanks for the hard work and taking us along. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
I live in Florida....you're making me want to live near all of these beautiful places 😍
I have absolutely enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing with us.
awesome view thanks !
Another beautiful video and your eye to capture quite a few variety's of mushrooms. Looks like were the only Cat on the trail that day. Take care.
Wow great camping spot at the beach! I can tell you are loving the travel trailer much better than the truck camper. It's so important to be able to detach and be nimble when exploring. Great video, thanks.

All the different camera placements you need to do. Good morning, Catherine! Another great video to start my Sunday morning.
Love Nature and fall colors!🌲🌳
Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thanks for another wonderful video!
