    why do you think so many people come to visit and never leave?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Beautiful! But I was expecting more rainforest and ocean. That is why I visit the Pacific Northwest year after year. That and the beer. ;)

    looks like it was mostly in Oregon. Crater Lake, Cannon Beach...I do wish he had included the Hoh Rainforest, and Forks. That area is so different, the beach is rocks and pebbles, not much sand. You can get a real respect for nature and the power of it...the waves are wild.

    Yes, wild waves can be seen west of Forks. We noticed the video was mostly Oregon and Crater Lake shots. We enjoyed our visit to Oregon, but we love the far west side of Washington and Vancouver Island. The wildness of it and the huge trees are what bring us back year after year. Beaches full of pebbles make the best sound as the waves wash onto them and tumble them around. I can walk for hours on a rocky beach and collect hundreds of smooth round stones in dozens of colours.
