In early Spring, we're looking for low elevation hikes that are free of snow.
This hike in the Olympic National Forest has enough ups and downs to make it interesting.
About 8.5 miles round trip and a total elevation gain of 800 ft.
The trail starts out in the open with views of Maynard Mountain.
After about 1.5 miles the trail descends to the river.
Along the river there are several hills to ascend and descend.
We were to early in the year to see wildflowers, but there are always interesting trees & lots of moss.
We encountered a little snow and some rough bridge crossings.
At 4.2 miles out the trail comes to abrupt end, as the high bridge crossing washed out in the early 1990s. We enjoyed our day out in the sun.
