This was our second trip overall (and this year) to Olympic National Park in the PNW. The park protects four different regions: the Pacific coastline, alpine areas, the west-side temperate rainforest, and the forests of the drier east side. The park has three distinct ecosystems, each with its own unique flora and fauna.<br /><br />In this video, you will see glimpses of the following sites and attractions that this trip provided, such as:<br /><br /> • The Peace Arch Border, a monument that celebrates the peaceful relationship between Canada and the United States<br /> • The Couperville-Port Townsend Ferry Terminal, a scenic way to cross the Puget Sound and reach the Olympic Peninsula<br /> • Merriman Falls, a stunning waterfall that plunges 40 feet into the Quinault River<br /> • Sitka Spruce, a giant tree that is over 1,000 years old and has a circumference of 58 feet<br /> • Kalaloch Beach, a popular spot for camping, hiking, and beachcombing<br /> • Tree of Life, a remarkable tree that hangs over a cliff and survives by its roots<br /> • Ruby Beach, a beautiful beach that is named for its reddish sand and pebbles<br /> • Forks, a town that is famous for being the setting of the Twilight saga<br /> • Quileute Marina, a harbour that serves the Quileute Tribe and offers fishing and whale watching tours<br /> • Second Beach, a secluded beach that is accessible by a short trail and features tide pools and sea stacks<br /> • Rialto Beach, a rugged beach that is known for its driftwood and rock formations<br /> • Beaver Falls, a cascading waterfall that is surrounded by lush vegetation<br /> • Lake Crescent, a deep and clear lake that was formed by glacial activity<br /> • Madison Falls, a picturesque waterfall that is only a short walk from the parking lot<br /> • Elwha River, a river that is undergoing the largest dam removal project in history<br /> • Sequim, a town that is famous for its lavender farms and festivals<br /> • Landing Park, a park that offers a panoramic view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains<br /> • Falls View Campground, a campground that overlooks a waterfall and a creek<br /> • Rocky Brook Falls, a spectacular waterfall that drops 229 feet into a pool<br /> • Dosewallips State Park, a park that features a saltwater shoreline, a freshwater river, and a forest.<br /><br />Camera gear used:<br />Fujifilm X-T3<br />Tokina atx-m 23mm 1.4 lens<br />Tokina atx-m 56mm 1.4 lens<br />DJI Osmo Action 3 Camera
