Exploring Enchanted Valley in Olympic National Park

After high snows at altitude around Mt. Hood cancelled other hiking plans, we managed to find a beautiful alternative just a few hours down the road on the Olympic peninsula. The Pacific Northwest is simply another world unto itself. Good times!

    Strider has made a point of photo bombing so I just decided to embrace it 😂

    Alway enjoy your vids. Was there in January with about 8’ of snow. Didn’t do much hiking. Went up to one of the visitor centers at the north end of the park and got great views. Wish I had some snow shoes. Keep ‘em coming my fine feathered hiking friend s.

    My brother doesn't tell me when he photo bombs my shots anymore and I find these easter eggs in the footage months later when I'm editing. If he goes through all the effort to look ridiculous, what kind of a brother would I be not to let the world see him for who he really is? 😂. Thanks for watching Brad, hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
