Besides Forks, what else are you planning to visit on the Olympic Peninsula? I ask because I live there and can make some recommendations if you're interested.
hi lou, thanks for your very informative posts.
I would love some advice on seattle, olyp penn, etc.
We have to travel to seattle to drop off our rv in federal way, and then fly out of seattle. It thought i would take this opportunity to explore "twilight" country, since i am a huge fan.
I am extremely interested in photographing la push and rialto beach. Any advice here is appreciated. I cant wait to see the rugged coastline.
Also, olmp penn in general, i dont really know much about it ecept that i will be in the general area, and that it is beautiful. Are there any spots in specifc you can suggest, or family friendly hikes for kids 3 and a 1/2 thru to 8 yearsold (eg short w/ stuff to see). I'd like to travel into forks, really just to go there for twilight reasons. I am also interested in any places around this area of photographic significance, or indian significance for the kids to experience a different culture, like visiting the reservation.
We will be driving from chilliwack and taking the ferry (probably the edmonds-kingston ferry) . Where should we base ourselves...based on the above places we want to visit, and if you can recommend a spot, (and an rv park if possible) how far in driving time is it to travel to the above places. Can you recommend a route from the ferry exploring the above, and then back to federal way?
So at the moment, we are planning ...
am: leave chilliwack drive and take the edmonds - kingston ferry. Set up at our base (wherevever that is) Hopefully have time to see something that evening.
next day...full day to explore from sunris to sunset
am:hopefully get out to photograph sunrise somewhere, then leave for federal way to drop off rv between 8 am and 11 am.
Do you think we need another day to explore, it is really only a side trip since we are so close to twilight country anyway, but if there is something much recommended and unmissable that we cant fit into 1 day, i am prepared t look at another day.
Also, do you know much about seattle....we will travel to seattle after dropping of the rv at federal way. (is there a shuutle or do we just take a taxi) and spendthe rest of that day and one full day the following day in seattle, before flying out the next day. We hope to visit the childrens museum, pike market, the space needle and the museum of flight. Is this doable in a day and a half and if not, what would you omit.
Thankyou for all your help. any suggestions on places to stay, itenieries and time schedules are much appreciated.
