A short hike from the Hurricane Ridge parking lot on the final summer-like day of the year in Western Washington. Trail continues far beyond our turnaround point.
Sol Duc Falls is the most popular falls in the Olympic National Park. It is a good choice even on a rainy day:-)
Olympic National Park has been a goal since we first conceived of this trip. We were lucky to get there before winter closed in (we are fleeing south through the first big winter storm even as I type). In fact we had perfect weather for some hiking on the rainforest side of the park.
Parked at the 15.2 mile marker, as indicated on the map here: http://www.olympicdiscoverytrail.com/ODTAdv5.htm. The gate is visible around the corner from the junction on Joyce Access Road. The actual Adventure Route trailhead is a little ways up the road; we made the mistake of continuing on the logging road after seeing the sign, which unfortunately meant we had to hike back UP the road to get on the actual trail, which starts (go figure!)...
Walked to Cape Alava, south on the shore to Sand Point, and return to Lake Ozette. Board walk much of the way. Lots of huge Sitka spruce and western red cedar.
