Olympic National Park Videos

Seattle travel writer Crai Bower is a former New Englander. He knows what it's like to see, feel, taste and hear fall coming on. But here in the Pacific Northwest, some say it's hard to vividly experience seasonal change. Crai disagrees. He recommends getting outside now to experience the season change in the sounds of cracking seed pods during an evening stroll on a Puget Sound beach. Crai Bower spoke with KUOW's Dave Beck. His most memorable experience of fall in the Pacific Northwest happened when he was a college student visiting Mt. Rainier.

In August 2009 Franco Darioli, Louis Marshall and myself traveled to Seattle Washington in the USA to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from Snoqualmie Pass to Steven's Pass. Then we journey to Olympic National Park for a three day hike from Obstruction Point.

One of the rarest things in the modern world is silence. Especially on radio. Silence makes some people nervous, but not Gordon Hempton. Gordon is an Emmy Award winning sound recording artist who calls himself the Sound Tracker. He traveled to almost all 390 of America's national parks in search of the place with the least human noise and the most natural silence. Then, he found it in his own back yard in the Hoh Rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula. Gordon calls the spot One Square Inch of Silence, and he's fighting to preserve it. KUOW's Sarah Waller met with Gordon to bring us the rarest noise of all.

Authors have long extolled the beauty of the West, from the Montana prairies to Olympic National Park. Today, three award winning nature writers Rick Bass, Richard Manning and Tim McNulty join us to talk about the land they love, how it's changing, and their efforts to save it.

An archaeological team has uncovered human remains near the Elwha Dam, west of Port Angeles. The remains are located on tribal land, but their age and origin are still unknown.

A study of Olympic National Park suggests the elimination of wolves 70 years ago has dramatically altered the park ecosystem. Larger elk herds triggered landscape transformation. The Oregon State University researchers take no position on whether wolves should be reintroduced into this part of the Northwest. Correspondent Tom Banse has more.
