Escaping the Noise: A Cinematic Journey into the Silence of Olympic

After weeks of city noise, my wife and I crossed the border from Vancouver and spent four days exploring Olympic National Park — chasing quiet trails, coastal sunsets, and natural sounds. If you’re planning your own trip, here’s every place we visited. HOW WE GOT THERE Route: Vancouver → Victoria → Port Angeles → Olympic National Park Ferries: *BC Ferries: Tsawwassen → Swartz Bay (Victoria) *Black Ball Ferry Line: Victoria → Port Angeles Both crossings are simple and scenic — just book early if you're traveling on weekends. 📍 PLACES WE VISITED 🌳 Hoh Rain Forest Hall of Mosses Trail of the Cedars Quiet loops with deer, moss canopies, and soft ground underfoot 💧 Sol Duc Sol Duc Falls (short, easy hike) Misty gorge & iconic bridge viewpoint 🌲 Lake Crescent Area *Devil’s Punchbowl (Spruce Railroad Trail) *Madison Falls (very accessible) *Old-growth forest pockets around the lake *Mount Storm King viewpoint (steep, only for good conditions) 🌲 Quinault Area World’s Largest Sitka Spruce (over 1,000 years old) *Merriman Falls Charming, mossy surroundings 🌊 Rugged Coast *Kalaloch — Tree of Life *Third Beach (2.4 km each way to sea stacks and tidepools) *La Push for sunset 🏕 WHERE WE STAYED *Crescent Beach & RV Park We returned here every night — ocean views, quiet evenings, campfires, and the sound of waves replacing city traffic. If I had to redo it, I would book close to the different areas to minimize driving time. 🎥 ABOUT THIS FILM** This isn’t a rush through viewpoints. It’s an immersive road trip: natural soundscapes, slow forest walks, coastal light shifts, and a search for quiet places in a noisy world. If you’re planning a trip to Olympic National Park, I hope this guide helps you choose where to go — and helps you hear what this place has to offer.
