Olympic National Park: Touch of the Tide Pool, Crack of the Glacier

This is James Parker reporting. What I am looking at is something I have only seen in pictures. Its kind of like being back in the Ice Age . . .

Join the Parkers, an intrepid family of four, as they journey to Olympic National Park in the Pacific Northwest, where they explore the tide pools along the coast, hike through the parks dense rain forest, and experience the famed alpine scenery and immense glaciers. Treacherous mountain terrain could stop them in their tracks. Could it prove to be ultimately too dangerous?
