Good afternoon. Kristin here with "Be My Travel Muse" and my hair is messed up. And today,
we are exploring Olympic National Park in Washington. We're gonna make the absolute
best of it. Right now we're driving by this amazing lake. On our way to the coast to
catch the sunset at Rialto Beach, and then gonna catch a sunrise up in the mountains,
go to a beautiful lake and have the most amazing 24 hours you could possibly have here.
All right. Did you even come to the PNW if you don't wear a beanie and a flannel?
I stole this from my brother. So, it was sunny, sunny, sunny, and happy until basically,
we got right to the beach where it's got quite a thick marine layer. But
who knows what will happen for sunset? Fingers crossed.
Wow. Pretty. Very pretty.
We tried to usually come here at low tide but that didn't work with our plans. So, we are at high tide
and the only way to get around is climbing on these trees, which I'm loving. It's like an
adult jungle gym.
That was so magical. Did you like it, Dr. G? Dr. G: I liked it. It was beautiful.
Kristin: Are you ready for a super early wake-up tomorrow?
Dr. G: No. Kristin: No? We're
gonna do it, right? Dr. G: But I'm sure we're gonna do it.
Kristine: Yes, we are. See you bright and early tomorrow.
Here we go. Gorgeous.
You give it on a scale of one to 10. Dr. G: 10.
Kristin: Ooh, that's a pretty good score. I give it an 11.
Yeah. That was a nice sunrise. Easy, quick sunrise hike. So, I can't complain about that. And now
we're gonna go do one of the more popular trails in the park.
Dr. G: At an unpopular time. Kristin: At an unpopular time.
So, hopefully, that means not too many people, plus it's a weekday so...
It's a lovely morning indeed, but
I am hungry breaky time.
Well, good morning. Not from Olympic National Park anymore. We drove four and a half hours yesterday
and now we're in the cascades, and I had every intention of doing more hikes in Olympic during
our 24 hours, but at some point, you just need to sleep. So, we had an amazing sunrise and we
had that amazing sunset and then we ended up just sleeping for most of the afternoon. But
when I asked you guys on Instagram, what your favorite spots were, a lot of people said the Hoh
Rainforest is amazing. People said that the other beaches on the coast were really amazing, like
Ruby and Second beach. Second is closed due to COVID concerns right now, but by the time you're
watching this, who knows? And then, of course, there are hikes in the area other than what we
did like the Lake Angeles, which was one that I wanted to hike too, but we actually have two
pretty big backpacking journeys ahead of us today and tomorrow. So, that's why we chose to rest, but
I hope this video helped you to see a few of the options that you could do during 24
hours in Olympic National Park. And coming up next, we're gonna talk a little bit about
how to do backpacking camp like a pro. So, stick around for next Wednesday. See you then. Bye.
Walk? Dr. G: Walk.
Kristin: Walk? Either way, anyway.
Actually, walk. It's a video.
Dr. G: I know. [inaudible 00:06:35].
