Both Mt Rainier and Olympic National Park are about 100 miles from Seattle. There haven't been any confirmed evidence of grizzly bears in either park for a very long time (if ever) since they were pretty much eradicated from the state decades ago.Are their grizzly bears living in Mt Rainier and Olympic national parks near Seattle?
Yes.
"Land-based life in the region takes form in the many forest dwelling mammals, including grizzly bears, elk, and mule deer. Many animals call the Mt. Rainier National Park home, and, although they are rarely seen, there are cougars and black bears living in the wooded areas. Many of these animals like the forested areas around Mt. Rainier, while others, such as grizzly bears, wolves, lynx, bobcats and wolverines, prefer the more remote areas of the north Cascades."
Uh yes, but i wouldnt call that "near seattle" they are pretty far away. If you are downtown seattle there is no way you would ever see a bear unless you are at the zoo. I live in way more forresty areas and i've never even seen a bear while camping in the forrest.Are their grizzly bears living in Mt Rainier and Olympic national parks near Seattle?
No. There are no grizzly bears at Mt. Rainier or the Olympic National Park. They may be some in the North Cascades, but that would be a very rare occasion: About 2 or 3 verified sightings a year. Besides Alaska, the only other state that has grizzly bears is Montana (Idaho and Wyoming have similar frequency of sightings as Washington State).
There are black bears all over in Washington State.
No.
I have to agree with Stan. There are no Grizzly bears in the National parks.
My family and I saw a black bear two weeks ago in the Olympics along the Elwa river trail. That was a first for all of us. I think the bear was more frightened of us than we were of him.
Stan, Steve %26amp; Tori are right...there are no grizzly bears living on Mt. Rainier or in the Olympics.

What can I do in Seattle? Also, any camping tips for Olympic National Park?
Hi there! I'm visiting a friend who lives in the Seattle metro area next week (late May). I mentioned to my friend that I'd like to visit the Olympics; she suggested the possibility of camping there. I definitely want to check out the rain forest, but I want a good glimpse of the mountains. I'd say at the most, we'd be there for a weekend. Where are the good camping spots? How about hiking ideas (advanced beginner/moderate)? Would it be better to go to the Cascades? What kind of weather can I expect while roaming through the mountains? What about Seattle weather in general?
Also, what about things to do in the city? I plan on exploring the Space Needle and Pike Place (and Viretta Park, if I can persuade my friend to go visit some park benches with graffiti!), and of course consuming coffee! I know there is a lot to see and do in Seattle, but are there any "must sees" while there?
Thanks so much!What can I do in Seattle? Also, any camping tips for Olympic National Park?
The Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park are fantastic!
Here's some ideas for what to see and do:
1. Hurricane Ridge - the view is fantastic - a short hike from the visitor center will give you almost a 360 degree views including the Olympic mountains and across the Straight of Juan de Fuca to Vancouver Island
2. Dungeness Spit
3. Lake Crescent
4. Soak in the Sol Duc Hot springs
5. Neah Bay - Shi Shi Beach %26amp; Makah Museum
6. Lake Ozette
7. Lake Quinault
8. Hoh Rain Forest
9. Ruby Beach/Kalaloch
You probably won't have time to see it all in a weekend, but you can pick and choose some that seem the most interesting to you.
Some hikes: Lake Ozette loop, Hoh Rain Forest, Rialto Beach
Camping: Plan for it being rainy and cold especially in the rain forest and along the coast so bring a warm jacket, dress in layers and bring rain gear. There are numerous campgrounds in the national park and surrounding areas.
The best chance of keeping dry while camping is in the northeast corner of the peninsula - Sequim, Dungeness, Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent areas, but don't miss seeing the rest.
I would suggest doing a loop and camp in coastal wetter areas last so you can come home the next day to dry out. You could luck out and have beautiful weather, too.
Seattle: In addition to the Space Needle %26amp; Pike Place Market, you might want to walk down to the waterfront area from the market.

Olympic National Park (Cape Alava)?
anyone been there ?
whats it like ?
the atmosphere ?
is it secluded ?
what is necessary to bring to camp there ?
any other info.
my boyfriend is taking me on a vacation
and were going there to camp :)Olympic National Park (Cape Alava)?
I have camped there a couple of times. Its very isolated. There are not a lot of people. You have to be careful with your food. The bears and more aggresive are the raccoons. I remember sitting at the campfire and shining the light in the wood and seeing about 30 sets of eyes from the raccoons just waiting to break into our food. I have also seen elk come into the camp site.
The beach is amazing. you have to be VERY aware of the tides. Its very easy to get trapped on a ledge.Olympic National Park (Cape Alava)?
I have never been but like most of the Olympic parks they do not have a lot of people camping there. Unless you are going during a major holiday. The weather tends to be wetter then normal for Washington. Check out Washington trails association it is a website with info on cape alva.

Olympic National Park in Washington..?
can anyone help me with attractions and whats good to visit while you're there?Olympic National Park in Washington..?
I visited Olympic NP just once and that was a while ago. I drove around the park in a clockwise direction. The places we visited in order from start to finish are:
1. Lake Quinault
2. Kalalock
3. Ruby Beach
4. Hoh Rain Forest
5. Sol Duc
6. Lake Crescent
7. Hurricane Ridge
If you're not familiar with the area, go to the web page listed below to open a map of the park and surrounding area. You will be better able to understand the logistics of our trip. We started the trip in Tacoma, stopped at Lake Quinault for lunch and continued on to Kalaloch. We spent three nights at Kalalock Lodge and enjoyed it and the area very much. While there we made trips to Ruby Beach and the Hoh Rain Forest, both of which I recommend you see. We then drove to Sol Duc where we spent an afternoon before continuing on to Lake Crescent for the night. The drive to Sol Duc is very scenic but I didn't care much for the Hot Springs Lodge (too touristy and crowded). While at Lake Crescent we did a little hiking and rented a row boat. The following day we drove to Port Angeles where we spent two nights. While there we visited Hurricane Ridge (recommended) for an afternoon. We also arranged for a tour of Victoria, British Columbia at a cart concession at the harbor. The way that worked is we took the 8:00 AM ferry (walk-on) across to Victoria where someone met us. We boarded a van for a half-day tour of the area including the famous Buchart Gardens, before being dropped off in downtown Victoria to do some exploring on our own. It was an easy walk back to the ferry. If you decide to do a short tour like this, I suggest you skip the downtown exploration and save the time to see the Royal British Columbia Museum and Parliment Buildings near the docks. I really enjoyed the museum and the display of frontier America and the American west was execellent. We returned to Port Angeles on the 7:00 PM ferry. The following day we continued our journey and headed to Mt Rainier National Park. If you plan to go to Victoria, check on ID requirements for reentering the US. You may need a US passport.
Needless to say you should search the web for additional information on the park and lodging. Have a good trip.Olympic National Park in Washington..?
This is a great vacation destination. I spent many years during college, doing field research in the Olympics and always had a great time, and still do on the occasion I get to visit.

Are there Moose in the Olympic National park in Washington state......?
Same chick that had her brother attacked by a wolverine in Colorado said they saw a moose there....
I'm having a problem believing her...maybe the wolverine story should have been the dead give- away....Are there Moose in the Olympic National park in Washington state......?
First I've heard of it and that is just a few miles west of me. We do have moose in the NE part of the state, my wife claims to have seen one just south of North Bend about 20 years ago. That is more likely Elk than Moose in my opinion, unless they are in a lodge like the Elks of America.
I do believe Bullwinkle and Rocky vacation there. . .
I suspect you are right about the wolverine story. Mostly they range in Canada and Alaska although some have been seen in the Tahoe National Forest.
If the lady's brother was attacked it was probably by a badger. Little bastards are everywhere.Are there Moose in the Olympic National park in Washington state......?

I want to live in the Olympic National Park for 6 months, can I legally do this?
I've been wondering on the issue with living in Washington's National Park "Olympic" and my plan was to move to Washington to pursue my creative director position and rejuvenate myself for 6 months in the Olympic National Forest before starting at the agency.
I would be building a self-sustainable small cabin and living natural for 180+ days and document the whole thing with my HDSLR camera. I'm just only worried about legal issues. I was maybe planning on at least trekking out 20+ miles out from a normal trail that others would backpack. So, I doubt I may not even be found but I can't guarantee it! Any advice?
ALSO: If this illegal and I happen to still proceed with it, by any chance any of you know what the charges may be and long of jail time? Thank you all for your time, appreciate it.I want to live in the Olympic National Park for 6 months, can I legally do this?
Since it is a protected park, putting up a shelter anywhere other than in a designated camping grounds is illegal.
Also - you would be responsible for any damage, destruction or changes to the natural growth. This would include "living off the land".
You would be charged with quite a few offenses, that would not only put you in jail for a couple of years, you would also find your future salary garnished for the fines for a long time.

DiD YoU MeaN Olympic "National Park" iN THe U.S.A.?
Olympic National Park is located in the U.S. state of Washington, in the Olympic Peninsula. The park can be divided into three basic regions: the Pacific coastline, the Olympic Mountains, and the temperate rainforest. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt originally created Olympic National Monument in 1909 and after Congress voted to authorize a redesignation to National Park status, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the legislation in 1938. In 1976, Olympic National Park became an International Biosphere Reserve, and in 1981 it was designated a World Heritage Site. In 1988, almost all of the Olympic Peninsula was designated as the Olympic Wilderness, further enhancing the protection of the region.

Spiritually Speaking how can I tell my family I went hiking today in Olympic National Park..with my wife?
This is crazy..the republicans have so corrupted our language we are embarrassed to tell out families when we are involved with healthy activities.

You didn't eat the shrooms did you?
What in the world?!?! This makes no sense. My husband and I are both Christian Republicans and we do many outdoor, healthy activities. From what I can tell, you did eat the mushrooms!
Yikes......
Why do you need to tell them at all? Two thoughts, What happens within the bounds of marriage are between a man and his wife and don't ask, don't tell.

Can anyone tell me about Olympic national Park?
In general, the trails and back country (with the exception of the coastal trails) are less crowded than the cascades. There are some fantastic camping opportunities. For outstanding views, I recommend Deer Park campground. If relaxation and short day hikes are more your thing, Sol Duc campground is a must with plenty of time spent in the hotsprings! The coastal areas, though busy in the summer, are breathtakingly beautiful.Can anyone tell me about Olympic national Park?

Olympic National Park in Winter?
I am going to Seattle next month. I always want to see Olympic NP, but I'm not sure if it's a good time to the park then.
Is it nice (worth driving) to see Olympic NP in December?Olympic National Park in Winter?
The Olympic National Park will be beautiful no matter what time of year you decide to visit it. However, you must weigh in the factor of snow. Since it is a small clustered mountain range it will probably have snow in December so it may not be the best idea for you to travel to it. However, around it toward the base are alot of cute towns and there is a hotsprings on the west side of the Olympic National Park. If you are really interested in the wildlife and the national parks in Washington you should plan to come in the summer when you can explore the wildlife itself. It isn't a bad drive though!
I've been up Hurricane Ridge in the winter and it's just GORGEOUS up there! They plow the road regularly so it's an easy ride up but TONS of snow at the top and gorgeous views all around. They also have a ski, snowboard and sledding area up there and it's a great place to snowshoe as well. Here's a link to that area of the Olympic National Park - http://www.hurricaneridge.net/Olympic National Park in Winter?
If you're just planning on driving around and seeing the sites, then yes. If you are planning on doing any major hiking, than snow is a factor.

Olympic National Park- best hikes? Washington?
Been looking at making a trip to Olympic National Park and wow is it a big place!! Looking for the top-rated day trip hikes. We'd probably be most interested in mountain hikes, but keep in mind neither my husband or me is very experienced and, although we're both able-bodied we're not in the best of shape, but we're game for a challenge! I'd love any recommendations, thank you! (Probably should be no more than 10 miles round trip).Olympic National Park- best hikes? Washington?
Go to the HOH Rainforest. They have short medium and long hikes through the forest. You will love it. I still plan to spend the night there before I die. It is the only rainforest on the lower 48 states. Hurricaine Ridge is nearby and worth the drive. I'm not sure if you can ride the Ridge. If you can, it would be nice. Also the area around Cresent Lake is georgeous. Of course, compared to Dallas, all of Washington looks like a rain forest.

Any tips on hiking coastal regions of Olympic National Park (WA)?
Some friends and I have permits to do a multi-day backpacking trip along the northern coast of the Olympic National Park near Seattle (the longest undeveloped stretch of coastline in the lower 48 states).
We are all experienced backpackers, but this is our first time backpacking along an ocean coast and having to deal with tide tables, headlands, log jams, etc.
Has anybody hiked or backpacked the Cape Alava area recently?
How was it? Any important tips or suggestions that are specific to that area beyond the normal backpacking stuff? Can I wear hiking boots or will my feet be in the water much of the time?
ThanksAny tips on hiking coastal regions of Olympic National Park (WA)?
We did some trips out there during our 3 years in Seattle. Check the tides! (as shedderb suggests) and try to do any tricky bits on a falling tide to have more options and a better assessment of just how long you have to get around a headlands, etc. Print out several copies and discuss each night and morning the tides as it relates to that days hike.
River/stream crossing can be a pain. Wool or fleece socks in Tevas work for some. I usually wear my usually trail shoes and socks and strip my feet for each crossing but it slows the group down. A wringable synthetic towel is good for drying off after each crossing. REI has them.
One or two 5-foot hiking sticks/poles can really help in those stream crossings. Not everyone needs one because you can toss them back to others. 100-feet of 1/4" line, if you snug it up with a trucker's hitch, can make a nice handrail for those crossings, too.
When it is not rainy, it is foggy, so nylon and polypro everything. So it can dry as you wear it.
Double zip-lock anything electronic. Dunking on a stream crossing and the salt air in general is NOT good for them. Cell phones die after 0.07 seconds in the ocean, IME. Better yet, bring a waterproof/disposable camera and don't worry. Consider a waterproof phone float bag from Westmarine for the cell phone (which presumably you have, turned off, for possible emergency use).
Bring a stove, sometimes all the driftwood is wet (and huge!). If you've got some extra low tides, bring a WA fishing license and go clamming (manila and little necks on rocky beaches, razor clams on sandy beaches). Steam with a little butter, garlic and herbs. It should be berry season down there now. Salmon berries like that coastal setting. Bring a small edible plants guidebook if you're not familiar with the many local berries and stalks.
Great choice!
Not having hiked Cape Alva (although I have done a bit at Sand Point) - my hiking on the Olympic Penisula is usually steep mountains - it is a rain forest wich makes for some great lush green steep hikes and some incredible waterfalls!
After researching this one I will have to go! Will post my adventures: http://www.jacobguide.com/washington.htm鈥?/a>
Have fun!!!Any tips on hiking coastal regions of Olympic National Park (WA)?
yea, they re aren't flow through spots on all the coast lines, go up to forks and hike around there, it better than south of there

One or two 5-foot hiking sticks/poles can really help in those stream crossings. Not everyone needs one because you can toss them back to others. 100-feet of 1/4" line, if you snug it up with a trucker's hitch, can make a nice handrail for those crossings, too.
When it is not rainy, it is foggy, so nylon and polypro everything. So it can dry as you wear it.
Double zip-lock anything electronic. Dunking on a stream crossing and the salt air in general is NOT good for them. Cell phones die after 0.07 seconds in the ocean, IME. Better yet, bring a waterproof/disposable camera and don't worry. Consider a waterproof phone float bag from Westmarine for the cell phone (which presumably you have, turned off, for possible emergency use).
Bring a stove, sometimes all the driftwood is wet (and huge!). If you've got some extra low tides, bring a WA fishing license and go clamming (manila and little necks on rocky beaches, razor clams on sandy beaches). Steam with a little butter, garlic and herbs. It should be berry season down there now. Salmon berries like that coastal setting. Bring a small edible plants guidebook if you're not familiar with the many local berries and stalks.
Great choice!
Not having hiked Cape Alva (although I have done a bit at Sand Point) - my hiking on the Olympic Penisula is usually steep mountains - it is a rain forest wich makes for some great lush green steep hikes and some incredible waterfalls!
After researching this one I will have to go! Will post my adventures: http://www.jacobguide.com/washington.htm鈥?/a>
Have fun!!!Any tips on hiking coastal regions of Olympic National Park (WA)?
yea, they re aren't flow through spots on all the coast lines, go up to forks and hike around there, it better than south of there
I am in seattle now so which mountain should i go to , olympic national park or Mount Rainier? asap thanks ?
Personally I'm a fan of Mt. Rainier. Never actually been there but lived near the base for about 6 months. I am in seattle now so which mountain should i go to , olympic national park or Mount Rainier? asap thanks ?
The Olympic Mountains are fantastic. I have not been on Rainier, but I am certain it does not offer the same variety of scenary as the Olympics. You can walk from the Pacific coast line up through a rain forest, over a snow capped mountain, down into a vast meadow, back up another mountain, down through a ancient hardwood forest, and finally end at the coast of Puget Sound.
Mount Rainier for sure, it's very impressive even if you're just sightseeing.I am in seattle now so which mountain should i go to , olympic national park or Mount Rainier? asap thanks ?

We are going to Olympic National Park and need some advise on trout streams and camp sites. Thanks!?
Preferably on the east side of the park around the 1st of septemberWe are going to Olympic National Park and need some advise on trout streams and camp sites. Thanks!?
from what ive read, all the campsites within the national park are first come first served. i have yet to camp this park but im headed there this weekend, tho not to camp. if you havent checked out the website, i would suggest it. as far as trout streams, definitely pick yourself up a regulations guide to find out which streams are in season and which are closed. i would imagine that around september 1st it shouldnt be too super crowded.We are going to Olympic National Park and need some advise on trout streams and camp sites. Thanks!?
The only place I've stayed is on Lake Ozette, and it was gorgeous. There are camping sites there as well as numerous hiking trails. I know you don't need a fishing license and that the lake has a vast assortment of fish. Hurricane Ridge is fairly close by, which makes for good snowshoeing in the winter, and good hiking in the summer/fall.professor layton surrogate mothers

I wish to visit Olympic National Park next year, what are the most interesting sites I can see in an afternoon?
If you only have an afternoon then go to Hurricane Ridge. It will take several days to see the whole thing unless you just want to drive and say wow every few minutes. Hurricane Ridge is just out of Port Angeles. You could also try Cresent Lake which is about 30 miles South of Port Angeles. Then just drive 101. There is no bad place on the Olympic Peninsula. Have fun.I wish to visit Olympic National Park next year, what are the most interesting sites I can see in an afternoon?

Going to Olympic National Park (WA) this wkend, & I'm looking for a medium difficulty level day hike.?
Something with a rewarding view. I will be staying in Forks, so nothing too far away from that region. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks in advance!Going to Olympic National Park (WA) this wkend, %26amp; I'm looking for a medium difficulty level day hike.?
Couple of things:
Mountain top view day hikes just do not exist in the Forks area. Forks has tons of valley (the Hoh, Bogachiel) and beach hikes (Oil city, La Push) nearby.
To find mountain top view day hikes you will have to drive back to the Lake Crescent area about 30-40 minutes away. There are plenty of mountain hikes there. See the link below at the Olympic National forest website
I can personally recommend both the Mt. Muller Loop and Pyramid Peak. Both are in the medium difficulty range around 12-14 miles round trip.
In the National Park, the trails get difficult. See the second link. Mount Storm King is nearby and has fabulous views, but it is very steep.
Enjoy the hike. Bring plenty of ibuprofen.

What biome does the washinton olympic national park have?
Here you will find Pacific Ocean beaches, rain forest valleys, glacier-capped peaks and a stunning variety of plants and animals. Roads provide access to the outer edges of the park, but the heart of Olympic is wilderness; a primeval sanctuary for humans and wild creatures alike.
Although related to other marmots and groundhogs of North America, the Olympic marmot is unique. An endemic species, it is found only in the Olympic Mountains. Visitors to the high country of Olympic National Park may be lucky enough to encounter a marmot sunning itself near its burrow.
Like everything else about Olympic, the weather is extremely variable, from season to season and place to place. Visitors should come prepared for a wide range of conditions. Rain gear and layered clothing are essential.
Overall, the Olympic Peninsula has a moderate marine climate with pleasant summers and mild, wet winters.
Summers tend to be fair and warm, with high temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees F. July, August and September are the driest months, with heavier precipitation during the rest of the year.
While winters are mild at lower elevation, with temperatures in the 30's and 40's, snowfall can be heavy in the mountains, with accumulations of up to 10 feet common.What biome does the washinton olympic national park have?

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK!?!?!?!! Is it a good idea to visit in OCTOBER/NOVEMBER? or should I go in JULY/AUGUST?
OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK IS IN WASHINGTON STATE. close to seattle. I REALLY wanna take my son. I think it look awsome!OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK!?!?!?!! Is it a good idea to visit in OCTOBER/NOVEMBER? or should I go in JULY/AUGUST?
Depends on what you want to do and see and where in the park you want to go. However, in general and for most activities summer is better, because the park is notorious for bad winter weather.The park is very large and has only a few routes to its edges; no road penetrates it very far let alone crosses the park. Hurricane Ridge is the main drive-in area, just outside Port Angeles, while the Hoh Rain forest requires a drive plus some hiking. Both are summer areas. The Lake Quinault area and the coastal strip are somewhat more winter friendly, but the weather in November can be foul.

I need an itinerary for a 3 day, 2 nt trip looping Olympic National Park - Start Seattle, End SEA-TAC. Ideas?
Family of 4 driving from Seattle, looping Olympic National Park counter-clockwise on the 101 and ending at SEA-TAC. Can't camp this time (not bringing camping gear), need hotels. Hotels w/i ONP seem booked. Traveling end of August (2009). Any suggestions on scheduling, what to see, where to stay would be great, never been to that area.I need an itinerary for a 3 day, 2 nt trip looping Olympic National Park - Start Seattle, End SEA-TAC. Ideas?
I made a similar road trip years ago when my kids were young. Like you I have a family of 4 and we did a counter-clockwise loop around Olympic NP starting in Seattle but didn't end in Sea-Tac. We continued on to Mt Rainier, Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Devil's Tower, Mt Rushmore, Wind Cave, Hot Springs and Badlands. We spent 24 days on that road trip and it was great.
Getting back to Olympic, our first stop after leaving Seattle was for lunch at Lake Quinault. We continued on to Kalaloch Lodge where we spent 2 nights. My best memories of Olympic are of this area. Our cabin was situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. During low tides the water line exposed a hundred yards of the sandy beach. The kids loved looking for shells and anything else that might wash up on the beach. While at Kalaloch we explored Ruby Beach and the Hoh Rain Forest. After leaving Kalaloch we drove to Sol Duc then continued on to Lake Crescent. I wasn't impressed by Sol Duc and didn't think it was worth the drive to get there. It's just a swimming pool size hot tub fed by the hot springs. Too much concrete and people for my liking. We spent the night at Crescent Lake where we rented a row boat to go out on the lake and also did a little hiking. From there we drove to Hurricane Ridge and stopped at the Olympic NP Visitor Center in Port Angeles. We spent two nights in Port Angeles and during the free day we took the ferry to Victoria. Instead of taking the car over on the ferry we picked up a tour of the city and the surrounding area. I was especially impressed by Butchart Gardens and the Royal British Columbia Museum.
Anyway, that's my experience and you can use it to put together your road trip. I highly recommend that you spend the first night at Kalaloch Lodge and I hope you can get a cabin overlooking the Pacific. When you leave there stop at Ruby Beach and the Hoh Rain Forest but skip Sol Duc. You can spend your second night at Crescent Lake or push on to Port Angeles were rooms are more readily available and less expensive. See Hurricane Ridge and if time permits, stop at the visitor center before continuing on to Sea-Tac.
If Kalaloch Lodge is full I'm not sure what the alternatives are. Lodging in this area is scarce. Try searching the internet and look for B%26amp;Bs.
Here's a map of Olympic - http://www.nps.gov/carto/PDF/OLYMmap1.pd鈥?/a>

Olympic National Park or Yellowstone in mid-June?
Driving north on 101 from San Fransico area. We can either (A) make a right at Crater Lake National Park to head toward Yellowstone OR (B) continue heading North to Olympic. This would be around June 11th for two full days in either park. Easy to moderate hikes only (if required for best experience). Please help!Olympic National Park or Yellowstone in mid-June?
Well I've only actually been to Olympic and I LOVED IT! It was one of the highlights of my trip to America!
I'm sure whichever you choose you will have a wonderful time!
Been to both, love em both. Tough call.Olympic National Park or Yellowstone in mid-June?
Yellowstone, which sits atop a super volcano, has over 50 percent of the world's geothermal features and spectacular fauna. If you'll never be back, I might choose Yellowstone, but it will be crowded and two days might limit what you'll be able to see there. It's a very large park with many separate attractions. I also wonder where you'll stay in the park. If you haven't made reservations yet, it may be too late to visit Yellowstone, perhaps even if you're willing to camp.
So, if you're sure you'll be back, Olympic National Park may be your best option. It's only a couple hours from Seattle, and not as popular as Yellowstone, so you should be able to find some lodging in the area, but don't wait very long to book your reservations. Olympic is magnificent park and probably more suited for a short, two-day trip.
Touring Yellowstone may not be as strenuous as Olympic, if you visit only the main attractions but, if health issues are a concern, be advised that there are very heavy sulfur smells in parts of the park. On a two-day trip, my hunch is that you might spend much of your stay in Yellowstone traveling between attractions.
There are superb easy hikes at Olympic, however.
http://www.gorp.com/parks-guide/travel-t鈥?/a>
Another reason to visit Olympic now is that with global warming, the glaciers that feed many of the water features in the park are disappearing. It likely will not be the same natural wonderland in future years.

If you visit Olympic, possibly you could spend a little time in Seattle or even Forks, Washington, if you have any interest in the Twilight saga/movies.
BOL for a pleasantly memorable journey!

San Juan Island & Olympic National Park Itinerary?
Can anyone give a good San Juan Island %26amp; Olympic National Park Itinerary for July4th long weekend ?
I will be driving from Portland for 3 days travel. Not sure how the ports are connected. And which hotel gets good price to fit the Itinerary.
Thanks a lot.San Juan Island %26amp; Olympic National Park Itinerary?
There is no easy way to get from San Juan Island to Olympic National Park or visa versa.
Probably the most efficient way would be to turn off I-5 near Olympia and go to Highway 101. Going along highway 101, drive counterclockwise around the Olympic Peninsula. This is the opposite direction of the route recommended on the National Park website.
You can take the Port Townsend to Whidbey island (Keystone) ferry, but beware that it sometimes doesn't run if the tide is too low so check ahead with the Washington State Ferry. From the ferry landing on Whidbey, drive north up the island, across the Deception Pass bridge and on to the Anacortes Ferry landing to San Juan Island.
The other option is the Kingston to Edmonds Ferry. Shortly after driving past the exit to Port Townsend is the junction to Highway 104. Take Highway 104 to Kingston and take the Kingston ferry to Edmonds. From Edmonds go east and get onto I-5 northbound. Take I-5 north for about an hour. Get off at exit 230 (near Burlington) and take Highway 20 westbound to the Anacortes ferry terminal where you can take the ferry to San Juan Island.
Another option would be to go to Seattle from the Olympic Peninsula and take the Victoria Clipper to San Juan island which would be a lot faster, but you can't take a car on the Victoria Clipper.
Predicting where you would want to stay to make hotel accomodations would depend on what time of day you plan on leaving Portland, what you want to stop and see and how far you want to drive the first day. Your options on the Olympic Peninsula are pretty much limited to Forks, one of the park lodges (Lake Quinault, Kalaloch or Sol Duc) or Port Angeles. The park lodges book up pretty fast, so I doubt that anything will be available there.
You will probably be able to find something on San Juan Island, since there are quite a few hotels, B %26amp; Bs, condos, etc. available.
I've included a few links that I hope might help you plan it out.
Plan to do a lot of driving and waiting for ferries to do both San Juan Island and Olympic National Park on the same long weekend.
If you start at Olympic National Park, the most efficient way to get to San Juan Island will be to drive to Port Townsend and take the ferry to Keystone. Then drive north up Whidbey Island over deception pass to Fidalgo Island, and then west to Anacortes to take another ferry to San Juan Island.
Ferry Traffic is heavy on summer weekends, and holiday summer weekends in particular. Expect a several hour wait for the San Juan Ferry going both directions, and make sure you have a place to stay before you go. It's a bit late for making hotel reservations for the holiday weekend at this point, and your options may be limited.
Port Angeles to Port Townsend - about one hour
Port Townsend to Keystone via Ferry - 35 minutes - reservations recommended
Keystone to Anacortes - about an hour
Anacortes ferry terminal to San Juan Island via ferry - 1 - 1.5 hours depending on which sailing. No reservations allowed - expect a long wait to drive your car on.
Once you get back to Anacortes on your return trip, the drive to Portland should take about 5 hours if the traffic isn't too bad.San Juan Island %26amp; Olympic National Park Itinerary?
Yikes, San Juan on the 4th? you had better get to the ferry terminals WAY EARLY if youre traveling on that weekend. the link i put below is to washington's ferry website. (click the PDF schedule and you will get a map of their routs) you can only make reservations between keystone and port townsend, and to canada. every other ferry ride is first come, first serve. and they mean it. they are very fair though. Ive never done this, but you could try to call and ask what ferry traffic is usually like.
Anyways, this is the way i would travel to your destinations. I would go up Highway 101 to the Olympic National Park. Then i would backtrack and get on Washington Route 20 and (with my reservation!!!!) go from Port Townsend to Keystone. From there, I would continue on Route 20 to Anacortes, and take the ferry to San Juan Island. Of course, you could go to San Juan Island first, blah blah blah. but from experience, route 20 is a very good way to go.
good luck!
PS- the PT/KS ferry is more commonly cancled due to high winds. If I were you I would try camping on San Juan, the weather is highly deserving.bloons tower defense 2 ashton kutcher cheating

Planning on going there with a close friend during Spring Break. I'm already looking foward to it. I've heard great stuff. If you've been, can you please tell me about it? What did you really like?Has anyone here been to Olympic National Park?
Yes, I've been there many times and it is absolutely gorgeous. Here are some of the highlights:
Hurricane Ridge, but beware of the mountain goats on the trails - just give them plenty of space and yield to to them - a man who challenged one on a trail was recently killed
Lake Crescent - a beautiful spot for a picnic
Sol Duc Hot Springs
The Hoh Rain Forest - bring your rain gear and hike the 2 short trails. There are also 2 other rainforest areas - the Queets and Quinault
Lake Ozette - hike a 9 mile loop hike out to the beach and see old petroglyphs along the way
The Beaches - Kalaloch, Rialto and Ruby - all absolutely gorgeous

Lake Quinault and Lake Quinault Lodge
Enjoy your trip

Bears in Olympic National Park?
How much of a threat are black bears to campers/hikers in Olympic national park? I am planning a trip there and have been a little apprehensive due to the required bear cannisters to reach Glacier Meadows on Mt. Olympus.Bears in Olympic National Park?
I think this information will really answer your question:
Black bears are common in Washington and the backcountry of the Olympic National Park. Though bear numbers appear stable, encounters are on the rise -- perhaps because more people are heading into the woods.
Bear experts say the best way for humans to avoid conflicts is to keep bears out of food and garbage. Once bears learn to associate humans with food, they can become a threat, says Larry Lang, Olympic National Park ranger and coordinator of the park's wilderness information center.
"Once a bear has possession of your stuff, you don't want to argue with it too much," Land says. If bears become too aggressive with campers, park officials take action that varies from closing an area to camping, to hazing the bear, to killing the bear in serious cases.
Penalties for improper food storage can include a $50 fine, Lang said.
Washington has an estimated 25,000 black bears, says Craig Bartlett, state Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesman. So far this year, Fish and Wildlife has gotten about 500 complaints on bears.
Of those, 38 involve human-bear interactions -- from bears in backyards to hikers in the back country.
But attacks on humans are rare. The last fatality on record was in the 1940s. The most recent black-bear attacks on humans were in Stevens County in 1998, in Skamania County in 1997 and in Columbia County in 1995, Bartlett says.
There are no records of bear attacks in Olympic National Park, Lang says.
Once, while hiking the Hoh River Trail, the Simpsons came upon a bear with a deer carcass about 50 yards from the trail. The bear guarded the carcass for about three days. They stayed clear.
"We try to respect the animals in their area," she says. "We don't bother them."
Seeing a bear is not a bad thing, says Donny Martorello, Fish and Wildlife bear and cougar specialist.
Most black bears are curious, not aggressive. If a hiker stumbles onto a bear with cubs, the bear may be uncomfortable and can be dangerous.
If that happens, make yourself known, talk to the bear, back away slowly, Martorello says. Don't pick a fight, and don't try to run from a bear. You can't outrun it, and running may trigger an attack.
Climbing a tree is not necessarily the best escape -- black bears are excellent climbers.
People should hike in groups, keep children close at all times and be aware of bear signs.
Berry pickers should expect bears in good patches.
Black bears are powerful and deserve respect, he says. People should take them seriously, but there is no reason to fear them.
Though no grizzly bears are found on the Olympic Peninsula, they may be in North Cascades National Park and in northeastern Washington, says Doug Zimmer, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
People who venture into grizzly habitat should consider carrying pepper spray in addition to other bear precautions.
"It's a bear deterrent. It's not 100 percent. It's not brains in a can," Zimmer says. "You still have to think about what you're doing."
And the best defense in grizzly and black bear country alike is to think about what to do if you encounter a bear on the trail -- before it happens, he says.
"Use your brain, it's your best weapon," Zimmer says. "They're not out there hunting you."
Black bears are usually pretty timid critters. They are a little more agressive in the spring when they emerge from hibernation. As long as you take proper bear precautions such as cooking far away from your sleeping area and hanging your food you should be OK.Bears in Olympic National Park?
You don't bug them; they don't bug you. Make sure that attractants are put away ... coolers don't have food goo on the side of them ... you know, common sense. You don't want your time in the woods spent like that movie with John Candy and Dan Akyroyd... do ya?

Best places to see in Olympic National Park (2 1/2 day excursion)?
I'm planning on visiting the park the week after Labor day (September). I plan on going hiking and camping for those 2 1/2 days. What are the most picturesque hikes/trails and locales? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.Best places to see in Olympic National Park (2 1/2 day excursion)?
Olympic National Park offers a ton of potential for hiking (both day and overnight) along with an extended shoreline and bountiful mountains. The park is separated into two areas, the main portion which includes the mountains and notable valleys, and the shoreline. Here are some of my recommendations:
-For a 2 1/2 day trip I would working your way around highway 101 counter-clockwise starting with either a ferry ride across the sound or by driving up through Olympia.
-A drive up Hurricane Ridge is always a great way to get up high in the mountains quickly and offers a good visitor center at the top along with some hiking options such as Hurricane Hill and Cirque Rim.
-A relaxing afternoon as Lake Crescent is always appreciated along with a trip to Sol Duc Hot Springs, which is also a good place for camping.
-Day two I would spend hiking deep into the Hoh Valley, straight out of a Tolkien book.
-You will also be on the west side of the park now and can easily access the shoreline beaches either at Rialto, or a full day hike from Ozette Lake to Cape Alva.
-Make sure to check out the tidalpools!
-The other half day can pick up another short hike around Lake Quinault on the way back east
enjoy!Best places to see in Olympic National Park (2 1/2 day excursion)?
The main Olympic National Park visitor center is in Port Angeles, with exhibits about the park's natural and cultural history, a forest diorama, Native American canoe and pioneer cabin, as well as a hands-on room just for kids.

Where can I go white water rafting in Olympic National park?
I contacted one place in Port Angeles who said that the Elwha river would be too low in August to raft....but i REALLY want to do it. Any other places that would take me?? Maybe like a class III?Where can I go white water rafting in Olympic National park?
There's really very little raftable class III in Washington right now, and none that I can think of on the Olympic Peninsula. You could run the Elwha in an inflatable kayak now, but I don't know if any companies in that area do IK trips.
The Suiattle, which is near Darrington, is about the only raftable class III in the area right now. The Skagit is also running, but it only has one set of rapids that approach class III.

Whats the best way to spend a day in olympic national park?
going mid june after a pacific coast road trip and don't want to do any strenuous hiking.for mid 20s coupleWhats the best way to spend a day in olympic national park?
It will depend on your definition of "a day". You can go all away around the park in one day and stop at several spots to enjoy a short hike, a picnic at a scenic viewpoint, etc. but you would need to start really early and plan on at least a 12 hour day, depending on your starting point and ending point.
Here are some suggestions (in order from Northeast corner of the park traveling counterclockwise, but you could also do it in reverse order starting at the Southwest corner)
Hurricane Ridge - on a clear day there are gorgeous views of the Olympic mountains to the southwest and you can take a short hike to look in the opposite direction to the north across the straight of Juan de Fuca to see Vancouver Island in Canada.
Lake Crescent - nice place to stop for a snack or picnic
Sol Duc Falls - pretty waterfall - less than a mile hike
Rialto Beach - Short hike to the beach or skip Rialto and go to Ruby Beach instead (see below)
Hoh Rain Forest - there are a couple of short flat hikes through the huge trees draped with moss - not to be missed
Ruby Beach/Klaloch - the road is much closer to the ocean here and can be seen from the highway. You can take a very short easy hike down to Ruby Beach

What is it like to live in Washington state? How about the northwestern area (I adore Olympic National Park)?
I'd love to move there. Tell me anything about Washington:)What is it like to live in Washington state? How about the northwestern area (I adore Olympic National Park)?
washington state is beautiful. i lived in seattle, and i was a couple of hours away from the ocean, the mountains, or canada, depending on which direction i wanted to go. everywhere you look, you see water or mountains. it doesn't rain as much as people think- in actuality, chicago gets more rainfall. but it is overcast most of the time, and if you like summer weather, you'll be disappointed. it's shorts weather only a few weeks a year. and traffic sucks around seattle, but the olympic peninsula is very nice.
Well its amazing, it rains, it snows, it pours.
Then we get great weather, and then we get gray weather,
there are lakes everywhere, the beach is never that far,
the mountians are close, and the desert is only about an 2hr drive from most places, i live in Vancouver,wa which is right above portland,or.
Great place, you will love the fact that sumemr activities are endless.What is it like to live in Washington state? How about the northwestern area (I adore Olympic National Park)?
It is lush. And you must love rain, because it rains a lot. And also there are very nice towns. There is this cool town that is all German style, I just forgot the name, but if you can definately move there, I don't permanately live in Washington, I have a house in Atlanta, Ga which is my birth city, andx I have a house in Seattle. As well as a house in North Scottsdale, Az
It rains quite a bit except in the summer. You get snow in the winter. The trees and mountains are beautiful. I think it's extremely nice in the summer, but not so much the rest of the year.

What's a good trail for a 5-day backpacking trip in Olympic National Park in Aug?
I'm hoping to do a 4 or 5 night (5 or 6 day) backpacking trip in August and would love to do a route that would include high elevation, rain forest, and beach (if such a trail exists).
I've heard that the Hoh River might provide all these different climates, but I've been unable to find a specific trip.What's a good trail for a 5-day backpacking trip in Olympic National Park in Aug?
The Hoh will not get you to the beach. There is SO much to see in the ONF, that it would be tough to get everything in on one trip. I would highly recommend the Enchanted Valley hike (It skirts along the east fork of the Quinault river). It's 13 miles from the trail head to Enchanted Valley (an enchanted place, indeed) I was there a summer or two ago and saw loads of bear (including a mating pair) and a bobcat. The Hoh trail will get you up to Blue Glacier (high alpine) but if my memory serves, it's a long hike in and out (about 40 miles round trip). There are a few coastal trips, but the coast hikes are not accessible from the mountain hikes. The coast areas of the National Forest are separate from the more inland areas. I've done the Ozette coastal hike and it was great. It's a 9 mile loop...it's basically a triangle. You start at trail head and hike three miles to either Sand Point or Cape Alava. From there, it's a 3 mile hike on the beach to either Sand Point or Cape Alava...from there 3 more miles back to the trail head. It was a great hike.
If you click on this link and then click on 'wilderness trail and campsite map' you will get a pretty good map of the trailheads and the back country campgrounds as well as info on each back country campground (bear wire or not, privy or not, reservations or not, etc.)
Good luck! It's a great place to backpack!What's a good trail for a 5-day backpacking trip in Olympic National Park in Aug?
Olympic Nat. Park is huge and beautiful. I have been up there a few times but I never hiked on the beach. The Washington forest service should have details of all the trails. Try google.

There is alot of the roads closed in the National park right now due to flooding we have had in the past couple of months the number to call to see which ones are open is (360) 565-3131 or the web-site http://www.nps.gov/olym/index.htm which has alot of great ideas and information.
WEATHER
While winters are mild at lower elevation, with temperatures in the 30's and 40's, snowfall can be heavy in the mountains, with accumulations of up to 10 feet common

*If you have children i would reccomend the Olympic Game farm in Sequim which is on your way to the Olympia Nationl park. I Love and and so do my kids!http://www.olygamefarm.com/farm.htm
See http://www.nps.gov/olymHow is the weather and other visiting conditions at the Olympic National Park this month (feb)?
cold and rainy.
You should call ahead and see if it is open, sometimes they close the park or portions of it when snows are deep. Visitor info is 1 360 565 3130, Hurricane Ridge info as 1 360 452 0329.Other than that bring warm clothes. I like the park in all seasons. Get a Port Angeles paper and maybe a Port Townsend paper for things to do.ENJOY!
The average temperature this time of year is a high of 47F and a low of 33F. You would probably want to stay in Port Angeles.
My mom and I stayed at this little wooden lodge on Lake Quinalt a couple Februarys ago - the less expensive one (I think there are two) - it was really cute and pretty cheap, too. There were salmon dinners every Friday at the fancy lodge, and plenty of pretty trails. The ocean's great in the winter, too - very stormy.
The one thing I'd advise is... don't camp! My English teacher was telling us about her weekend camping trip to the Hoh rainforest, sometime in the winter... and it rained an inch in one night and flooded out their tent. Ah!
Anyway, have fun!

Good times to visit Olympic National Park?
I was thinking of visiting the park this year. Most likely it would be either May/June or September, but maybe at other times as well. I don't want to get rained on any more than necessary, but I'd also like to see it lush and not all dried out. Also would prefer a time with fewer people. Any thoughts?Good times to visit Olympic National Park?
Anytime is a good time to visit Olympic National Park--even when it rains! But if you don't like the rain, why not plan a summer visit?

Should I visit Mt Ranier or Olympic National Park?
I am going to Seattle in July and wanted to do a day trip to one of the parks near Seattle. Which is the better spot?
Any advice is appreciated.Should I visit Mt Ranier or Olympic National Park?
if you had more than day i would have said olympic because of its three distinct ecosystems: mountains(though not as high as rainier), rain forest, and ocean--you would have gotten more bang for your buck.. BUT this would require more than a day trip.....so for just a day i would go with ranier because thats all the time that is really required to take in its grandeur (unless you're planning a long backpacking trip along the wonderland trail which it doesnt sound like you are)..so final vote for a day trip goes to ranier although i personally prefer the olympic areaShould I visit Mt Ranier or Olympic National Park?
I live near Seattle.
I recommend Mt Rainier over Olympic National Park.
If you go to Olympic National Park and then look over and see Mt Rainier, you'll regret your decision.

Three Types of Rocks at Olympic National Park?
I need three types or rocks from Olympic National Park for a science project. Also:
-What type is it? (ex. Igneous, intrusive?)
-Why is it there? How did it form in the park?
-Minerals that make up the rock?
And any diagrams that come with
and most importantly the URL you got it from. Need to cite my sources. :) ThanksThree Types of Rocks at Olympic National Park?
If I had such a project, I would start with the USGS. They'll be a wealth of all of the above.

What are your thoughts on Olympic National Park, WA?
I'm possibly heading out to WA next june and I would like at least one full day to see the park.
What do you think of the park?
BQ: What are some highlights that I can do in a day?
BQ: Any "hidden gems" or less touristy spots that are good?
Please share as much info as possible, look forward to hearing some answers. Thanks.What are your thoughts on Olympic National Park, WA?
I think the park is fantastic! One day is really not enough since it is a large park and has a number of diverse things to see, however I have taken people from out of town on a marathon trip around the park in one day viewing just some of the highlights. You need to start out REALLY early and plan on driving about 350 miles.
The highlights I've done in one day:
Hurricane Ridge
A quick stop at Lake Crescent
A hike around the loop trail in the Hoh Rainforest
Kalaloch %26amp; Ruby Beach
Some other "hidden" gems that you might be able to include or substitute for some of the above:
Sol Duc Hot Springs
Lake Ozette - 7 mile loop hike to the beach - petroglyphs can be seen along the way
Lake Quinault
Queets Rain Forest
A hike down to any of the beaches at LaPush
Not exactly "in" the park, but a side trip to Neah Bay will provide you with a view of beautiful unspoiled beaches and the opportunity to see the Makah Museum which is very interestingWhat are your thoughts on Olympic National Park, WA?
Wow RB you just have a day. The area is huge. My favorite place is Hurricane Ridge above Port Angeles, Wa. It's about 20 miles out of Port Angeles. You can drive right to it. You will be at about 5700 feet. The views of the Olympic Mountains are spectacular. There may still even be snow at the lodge in June. There was when we were there this past year. Another beautiful place on the peninsula but not in the park is Cape Flattery in the Makah Indian Reservation. It is the farthest northwest point in the continental US. The area is beautiful. Then there is the Hoh Rain Forest. If you like to hike there are trails for all levels. If the gator in your logo means you are from Florida, you will love it. I'm originally from Mississippi. It's a whole different world. If you get to drive 101 pull off at one of the beaches to see the Pacific. Enjoy your visit. June is usually a very nice time of year.

How much larger does the Olympic National Park have to be to provide for preservation of species in its domain?
the question is not of having large reserve area but the problem is of growing human influence. so still if govt. being able to avoid more and more human contact to park than their are still great chances of preservation of native animals.

How can I make plans to visit Olympic National Park this summer?
I'm 18 and I really want to go as a graduation present, but no one wants to go with me. I thought about going by myself, but that seems boring. Would that be a good idea? Also, what are some things to do/see in the park, and would it be better to camp in the park or stay at a hotel? I've never been camping. I'm kind of a girly-girl when it comes to like bugs and heat haha But I really love the scenery there. It's beautiful!How can I make plans to visit Olympic National Park this summer?

Like everything else about Olympic, the weather is extremely variable, from season to season and place to place. Visitors should come prepared for a wide range of conditions. Rain gear and layered clothing are essential. Recorded Road and Weather Information (360) 565-3131
For your first adventure you may want to consider a hotel. I camp alone, but it's not for the faint hearted. If you do choose to camp alone, keep a canister of pepper spray with you and easy access at "all" times. Never assume that you are safe. Take a look at the following link to get an idea of what you will need to pack for a camping trip.

How do i find a good place to stay in/around olympic national park in Washington?
Planning to go to Olympic national park, WA for 2 days/1night. Trying to get a good place to stay for a night. Mainly planning to see Hurricane ridge and Crescent lake. Any recommendations of places to visit and stay?How do i find a good place to stay in/around olympic national park in Washington?
Hurricane Ridge and Crescent Lake are both near Port Angeles so that would probably be your best bet. Sequim is not too far away and would be another possibility:
Here's a link to compare prices and availability: (be sure to enter the date you need)
http://traverus.myttn.com/travel/hotel/s鈥?/a> How do i find a good place to stay in/around olympic national park in Washington?
Why are you rushing your visit to Olympic National Park? It's a fairly large park and impossible to see in just a couple of days - especially if you're driving from the SeaTac area. I've been to Hurricane Ridge, Crescent Lake and Sol Duc but I prefer to spend the night in Kalaloch. It's a beautiful and very relaxing place to be. I stayed in the Kalaloch Cabins situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. It is gorgeous and you'll enjoy exploring the coastline in that area of the park. Be sure to see Lake Quinault and the Hoh Rain Forest too. Have fun! Wish I were going too.
Go to the web site below for info on Kalalock Lodge. It's a winner.

LV Team Name is down to 5. Please pick one?
Las Vegas Mirage
Las Vegas Neon
Las Vegas Royals
Las Vegas Aces
Las Vegas DiamondsLV Team Name is down to 5. Please pick one?
Aces
Mirage- won't work unless the hotel/casino with that name changes their name. Other casino owners will see it as an advertising advantage.
Neon- Too simple
Royals, Aces- Team won't have a name associated with gambling. Plus Aces has already failed here more than once, most recently an ABA franchise that folded after last season.
There is also a team in the AIHL that is currently using Aces. Oh well.
For hockey historians, Manon Rheaume played for the Las Vegas Aces back in 1994.
Diamonds- Too "Diamonds are Forever" James Bond-ish
IF a team comes her, besides needing an arena that hasn't been built yet, they should call it the Thunder, like the old IHL team.LV Team Name is down to 5. Please pick one?
Have to go with Aces, and here's why:
Las Vegas Mirage - Sounds like it's sponsored by the hotel
Las Vegas Neon - I see strippers and poles. . .
Las Vegas Royals - MLB has the KC Royals, no need to confuse potential new hockey fans
Las Vegas Diamonds - Just doesn't have that "ring" to it. And it's very similar to MLB's AZ Diamondbacks.
Instead of making a new franchise. They should keep Las Vegas Wranglers history and just bump them up to the NHL. Whichever NHL team can't make whether it's Phoenix, NYI, or Nashville should be moved down to the AHL. There's no need to lose hockey history.
Aces or Diamonds.
How about the Blackjacks? Or the Royal Flushes?
... or the "Las Vegas Gambling Problems" ...
... or the "Las Vegas Strippers..."
:-/
I like the Las Vegas Aces.
Mirage would make the team look like an ad for the hotel, Neon sounds too much like a strip club name, and the Royals would be too similar to the Kings.
I like the Aces or Diamonds, but how about Sin City Aces or Sin City Diamonds. Possibly the Las Vegas Road Runners.
I like the Neons. Then when they financially fail we can call them the "peons".
I know....lame. Also, I am sure that a franchise would be rather successful in Las Vegas.
I think you have to resurrect the Las Vegas Posse
CFL fans will remember that short lived experiment.
Royals is too much like the Kings
I would go with the Aces. After they miss the playoffs for 10 years in a row we can call them the flush
Aces - but Heatstrokes would be more appropriate.
They are all bad. The best is the Aces, but that's bad too. Diamonds is fine - if it's a women's team.
Las Vegas Cherries
Aces. Gotta stick with the Cards theme. I'm going again for the WSOP, can't wait!!
LOL @ LITY. F'n Neons.
i personally like neon
I like 'Neon', the logo can be an old Chrysler.
Out of those I'll go with the Las Vegas Aces.

IF a team comes her, besides needing an arena that hasn't been built yet, they should call it the Thunder, like the old IHL team.LV Team Name is down to 5. Please pick one?
Have to go with Aces, and here's why:
Las Vegas Mirage - Sounds like it's sponsored by the hotel
Las Vegas Neon - I see strippers and poles. . .
Las Vegas Royals - MLB has the KC Royals, no need to confuse potential new hockey fans
Las Vegas Diamonds - Just doesn't have that "ring" to it. And it's very similar to MLB's AZ Diamondbacks.
Instead of making a new franchise. They should keep Las Vegas Wranglers history and just bump them up to the NHL. Whichever NHL team can't make whether it's Phoenix, NYI, or Nashville should be moved down to the AHL. There's no need to lose hockey history.
Aces or Diamonds.
How about the Blackjacks? Or the Royal Flushes?
... or the "Las Vegas Gambling Problems" ...
... or the "Las Vegas Strippers..."
:-/
I like the Las Vegas Aces.
Mirage would make the team look like an ad for the hotel, Neon sounds too much like a strip club name, and the Royals would be too similar to the Kings.
I like the Aces or Diamonds, but how about Sin City Aces or Sin City Diamonds. Possibly the Las Vegas Road Runners.
I like the Neons. Then when they financially fail we can call them the "peons".
I know....lame. Also, I am sure that a franchise would be rather successful in Las Vegas.
I think you have to resurrect the Las Vegas Posse
CFL fans will remember that short lived experiment.
Royals is too much like the Kings
I would go with the Aces. After they miss the playoffs for 10 years in a row we can call them the flush
Aces - but Heatstrokes would be more appropriate.
They are all bad. The best is the Aces, but that's bad too. Diamonds is fine - if it's a women's team.
Las Vegas Cherries
Aces. Gotta stick with the Cards theme. I'm going again for the WSOP, can't wait!!
LOL @ LITY. F'n Neons.
i personally like neon
I like 'Neon', the logo can be an old Chrysler.
Out of those I'll go with the Las Vegas Aces.
royals all the way
Las Vegas in August....is it really HOT?
We planning to go Mirage, Las Vegas on Aug 17. Is it really burning hot? Can we stay outside during the day? Anybody had experience? Please share...Las Vegas in August....is it really HOT?
If you are an out of stater and have humidity near your house. No. If you live here, it cannot get much hotter than it has been in recent days.
It can be excruciatingly hot, or you could hit a break and have a few days that are nice.
Something to really keep in mind. During the day the temperatures rising off the concrete are much higher than the posted temperature.
You've heard the saying "It's a "dry" heat". And that applies here. Hot can be tolerable.
The real problems start at 104 degrees which is the temperature your body will start to really feel the heat in as little as 20 minutes.
It's very important if you are going to be out and about to hydrate even if you do not feel thirsty. If you drink alcohol, do it in the evenings not early in the day it will make dehydration worse. Bring sunglasses, a hat and comfortable loose clothing and really good shoes.
The good news is the tall buildings provide shady areas, and you can just duck in and out of air conditioned Hotels.
In any case have a fun trip. I try to avoid the strip in the mid afternoon, but other than that don't really find the heat too overbearing as long as the temp is below 104Las Vegas in August....is it really HOT?
It will be HOT. But like we locals say "but it's a DRY heat!" lol (yeah - like an oven is dry heat..)
Ok, this is what you do. If you are not used to hot weather do not even attempt to walk the Strip during the daytime. You will overheat. Stay indoors (like in the casinos, duh!) or play at your hotel's pool. Be sure to wear sunscreen.
Be sure to hydrate yourself by drinking lots of fluids (but NOT alcohol which has the opposite effect) during the day. Wear lightweight, light colored clothes and comfortable shoes.
If you insist on walking, say....from the Mirage to the MGM or any more than one city block (our blocks are equal to about 5 or 6 blocks in any other town, optical illusion that everything is close cuz the hotels are so huge) be aware that if you get light headed, nauseated, confused etc, that you could be having a heat stroke.
Best to say indoors during the day and not walk too overly far at night.
Yeah it's hot in Vegas. You'll sweat the balls you didn't know you had off really fast. During the day if you pop in and out of the ac a lot you will survive. But seriously, drink water like it is going out of style, even if you don't feel like you need to. If you are from a humid place, it won't feel as hot as you are used to but then you will see the temp and be like wtf?!?! It's bad, but semi bearable and so worth it, just drink water you don't want heat exhaustion.
yeah its gonna be really hot. around 110 degrees at the most. if you can stand the heat (and wear sunblock) then you can stay outside, but if i were you, i would stay outside at night when its a little cooler and just walk around in different hotels during the day where there's a/c. have fun! =)
Yes it's extremely hot in august in vegas. But its also our monsoon season so there could be thunderstorms in which case it's hot AND muggy! I would recommend staying at the hotel during the day and hanging by the pool, then at night walk around and sightsee. It cools off to around 90 at night! Have fun!
i live in vegas and it HOTTER THAN HOT! if you wanna do sumthin fun durin the day but dont wanna burn your a$$ off go to circus circus or the fashion show mall. its gonna be hot and your gonna b shocked. today it was 113 degrees.
July and August are the hottest months in Las Vegas. Expect the temperature to be over 100 degrees everyday during those months.
Here is Vegas monthly temperatures.

If Jesus had a magic/miracle stage show that he performed 3 times daily at the Mirage Las Vegas, how much....?
...would you be willing to pay for tickets? Let's say that you would be able to drink some of the water/wine he made and his backup dancers were pretty hot.If Jesus had a magic/miracle stage show that he performed 3 times daily at the Mirage Las Vegas, how much....?
I'd much rather see Jesus than Celine Dion...
I'd dress up as a shambling old beggar woman, GOR, and offer JC a "widow's mite" as payment for my ticket to the extravaganza.
As I understand it, mites weren't worth much even in Biblical times so I'd not be risking a lot if the show turned out to be rubbish - but apparently JC was very impressed by these kinds of pathetic gestures so I reckon it'd get me a really good front row seat.
PS: Will there not be any fishes to go with that bread buffet?If Jesus had a magic/miracle stage show that he performed 3 times daily at the Mirage Las Vegas, how much....?
The Mirage would save a bundle on food for the show by only having to buy some fish and loaves to feed a "multitude" of audience members. The company would need to have a liquor license for Jesus to change water into wine and be taxed on all "converted liquids".
I'd be willing to pay a tenth of all my income (tithing). Regardless of price paid to attend the show, seating should be based on lack of sin upon your soul. The less sin upon your soul, the closer you get to sit to the stage.
Well, it seems you have covered that the buffet would be bread only, but all you can eat...and we get some water/wine (or did that mean watered down wine?)
Hot back up dancers helps as well, but really, we all know this all boils down to two things:
1) are the back up dancers topless ever in the show?
2) do we get a coupon for some free slot play after the show?
If yes to both, I will go as high as $9.99
And if he would let himself be mauled by the tiger from Sigfried and Roy's show and then rise from the dead afterwards, then I would go up to $15.99.
Jesus' miracles are free. So, knowing that, I wouldn't pay a thing. I'd be very skeptical if I were asked to.
So, it would be free wine, free bread, and you shouldn't be surprised to see free fish there, too. It will be a great show.
I'll be there, will you? Viva Las Vegas, and Praise the Lord!
this is a mad question, but i love it! :P i would pay a lot if the backing dancers all looked like ed westwick or robert pattinson, lol :P! if he could turn water into diet coke (i think jesus could do that) then he would get more money than michael jacksons comeback!
I haven't been feeling well lately......if I were to die at this show, could one of the miracles be to bring me back to life? What if I kill someone else? I wouldn't want the person to come back, but could one of the miracles be that I don't go to prison?
Seven bucks, but only if they served an all you can eat buffet.
I'd LOVE to go no matter how much it is and who wouldn't wanna see Jesus that to doing miracles? well im the first one on the list heheheheheheheh
Mary Magdalen wouldn't need to worry about dodging the police while she whores.
I went to the loaves and fishes tour and I though it was pretty lame and only 5000 fans turned up. The gig merchandise was pretty grim too. It was all sack cloth T shirts and sandals.
would food also be provided also ?
edit: well i see heretics seven bucks and raise an 8.99
dont know and dont care either lol
$7...can we have butter with the bread...
If I were to go to Vegas, Jesus would be the last thing on my mind..
If he were here I'd drop everthing and follow him. But, I don't think it's going to happen that way.

BARE pool at the Mirage, Las Vegas?
What are the regulations? What specifically can you wear/not wear ;). I stayed at the mirage but back in January when it wasn't pool season, but I'd love to go back and see what its all about. People with experience? ThanksBARE pool at the Mirage, Las Vegas?
Bare pool is European style sun bathing. You can bath topless in the covered and private area thats covered with lush foliage and towering palm trees. The pool opened for the season March 15th. Here is more information.
http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/bare-las-鈥?/a>
The ultimate in poolside pampering, Bare is defined by its distinctive contemporary ambiance and ultra VIP service. The DJ-spun music mix sets a lively mood as guests enjoy European-style sun bathing secluded by towering palms.
Two luxury dipping pools create a temptingly cool respite from the hot Vegas sun. Private Daybeds and Cabanas provide a luxurious option while poolside chaise lounges put guests in the middle of the action. A menu offers sumptuous specialty food items and cocktail service is available throughout the pool area. For those choosing to rent a Daybed or Cabana, European-style bottle service is offered and some titillating twists: an exclusive pitcher service provides a unique alternative to standard bottle service with pre-mixed cocktails such as Mojitos, Bloody Marys and Sangria served in specially made pitchers guaranteed to keep your beverages ice cold.
HOURS:
Open Thursday thru Monday starting on March 15th.
ADMISSION:
Must be 21 years old.
Women free everyday. Monday thru Thursday men $20, Friday - Sunday men $40.BARE pool at the Mirage, Las Vegas?
I believe you must wear a swim suit, guy or girl. Girls can go topless, if they want. They do not have to take their top off, though.
Girls are always free and, if you poke around the hotel or ask at the concierge desk, you might find a coupon for a free drink. Guys are $20 on weekdays and $40 on weekends.
On weekends, Bare is more of a party pool than the topless pools that you'll find at other hotels. They host a bunch of poolside parties and try to bring in a young crowd. That tactic works just fine, but only a few girls will actually go topless. The majority of girls will keep their top on.
On weekdays, it is usually pretty quiet and, honestly, a lot more relaxing. There will be more older people there. There will also be a few groups of young guys who go in thinking they'll be ogling and chatting it up with topless girls.

Which are the better rooms at the Mirage las vegas?
The better rooms are going to be the most expensive rooms. Rule of thumb- the cheaper they are, the less nice they are. It also depends on your personal opinion and needs. The deluxe room is your most basic room.
The tower deluxe room is an upgrade from that and offers private elevators, larger bathrooms with a whirlpool tub, double sink vanity, but only king beds are available.
The tower 1 bedroom suite has 1105 sq. ft. and have floor to ceiling windows. They have an upgraded bathroom, walk-in closet, wet bar, dining table, and a stereo. The more you spend, the more amenities you will get.
Personally, I only sleep and take a shower in the hotel room, so I'm not too worried about the room itself, only the location of the hotel.Which are the better rooms at the Mirage las vegas?
The better rooms at the Mirage are called Premium View rooms. They will cost a little bit more than the deluxe rooms but the trick is to book the Premium View rooms using Mirage promo codes. That will sometimes make it cheaper than the Deluxe room at regular price. Here are a couple of Premium View room codes.

Who has seen Cirque de Soleil "Love" at the Mirage, Las Vegas? was it worth the journey and the money?
We have been to many Cirque du Soleil shows over the years. As a Beatle fan, I would have to say that LOVE is my favorite. Check out this video preview:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=鈥?/a>
As with all Cirque shows, LOVE is a sight and sound experience. The theatre is beautiful; The cast puts on an exuberant show; But the star of the show is the music... As you probably already know, Sir George Martin (the 5th Beatle) and his son Giles, with the blessing of the remaining Beatles and Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison, used the master tapes at the Abbey Road Studios to create an incredible soundscape. It is my understanding that even though there are only 27 tracks, they used samples from 130 Beatle songs. These from the actual masters of the twenty--something year old Beatles recording in Abbey Road Studios 40+ years ago. It is pure Beatles, just re-mixed by the Beatles producer and his son. It is a surreal experience hearing the music you grew up with remixed in layer upon layer of multiple songs in one track.
The sound is exquisite. It is so crisp and fresh. It's as though the Beatles of the 1960's are right there in the theatre with you. There are 6,341 speakers in the theater and the audience feel as though they are completely surrounded in sound. There are three speakers in each seat -- two in each headrest and one in the seat in front of you.
If you are a Beatles fan, this is a show you just have to experience. This is a show you will want to see again and again.
It sells out every night, but if you didn't buy a ticket in advance, don't fret... Go to the Will Call window a bit before 6:00. That's when they release unspoken-for tickets - many times some of the best seats in the house!Who has seen Cirque de Soleil "Love" at the Mirage, Las Vegas? was it worth the journey and the money?
i envy anyone who has seen it. i own the album and i am completly in love with it. though it cant possibly be as good as the classic versions it is still amazing.

These from the actual masters of the twenty--something year old Beatles recording in Abbey Road Studios 40+ years ago. It is pure Beatles, just re-mixed by the Beatles producer and his son. It is a surreal experience hearing the music you grew up with remixed in layer upon layer of multiple songs in one track.
The sound is exquisite. It is so crisp and fresh. It's as though the Beatles of the 1960's are right there in the theatre with you. There are 6,341 speakers in the theater and the audience feel as though they are completely surrounded in sound. There are three speakers in each seat -- two in each headrest and one in the seat in front of you.
If you are a Beatles fan, this is a show you just have to experience. This is a show you will want to see again and again.
It sells out every night, but if you didn't buy a ticket in advance, don't fret... Go to the Will Call window a bit before 6:00. That's when they release unspoken-for tickets - many times some of the best seats in the house!Who has seen Cirque de Soleil "Love" at the Mirage, Las Vegas? was it worth the journey and the money?
i envy anyone who has seen it. i own the album and i am completly in love with it. though it cant possibly be as good as the classic versions it is still amazing.
Do we just not see this?
I tried this once already but nobody sees it?
We'll be taking our 9 year old granddaughter with us to the Shenandoah Valley in the fall. Besides Luray Caverns and Luray Zoo, what are some other places a 9 year old would be interested in? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.Do we just not see this?
You could try Google. Or, write to or e-mail the county tourist board.
This is the etiquette category. If you want some tips on how to get a 9-year old to say "Please" and "Thank you" appropriately, I'm sure someone would help.
Most 9-year olds have short attention spans. You might spend one afternoon at a river, but not a whole day.virtual earth mcdonalds jobs

My suggestion is to try asking this in a DIFFERENT category than ETIQUETTE. I realize that when you submit a question, the Y!A system SUGGESTS a category by "parsing" the words in that "title." But often it suggests the WRONG category.
So, click on your question, click on DELETE (not edit or add details), and delete this question. Then, RESUBMIT the question, and when it comes to suggesting a category, click on the BROWSE CATEGORIES button and look for this:
Home %26gt; Travel %26gt; United States %26gt; Other - United States
Then, you will likely get some answers that will be helpful to you!
Personally, I have wanted to visit the Blue Ridge Mountains for most of my life, but haven't had the chance to go. Maybe after I retire I may find a bus tour during the autumn leaves time!
Have a polite day.

Word problems suck, don't they. I always go to the end first and look for the big question they're asking. Take #4:
How many plants were neither petunias nor marigolds? Now we know what to look for. Look for clues in the rest of the problem. First, she bought 40 plants. That's a good start. Then, it says that 20% of the plants were petunias, and 60% were marigolds. From those two numbers, you can see that 80% of the plants were petunias and marigolds (I added 20% + 60%), so you know that 20% are neither petunias nor marigolds (100% - 80%). So now all you have to do is figure out what 20% of 40 is, and you'll have your answer. Make sense? Try to apply that sort of process to all of the questions.
