Mount Zion Hike Washington

The trailhead to Mount Zion is a little more than 10 miles off of Hwy 101.
The hike is about a 5 mile round trip with 1300 ft elevation gain in the Olympic National Forest.
 Lots of wildflowers in bloom
 
 
 















 

Almost 2 miles up the trail you arrive at a rocky summit, a fire tower was here until 1975. 
The forest has grown up blocking most of the view.
It took a bit of looking, but we found the trail continuing in the brush

 for 0.5 mile to a large rock outcropping, walk as far along the rocks as you feel comfortable.


To the west, the Olympic Mountains.
 To the east, Hood Canal
