Description
From the parking area near the park office, head north back towards the park entrance to find the trailhead. Mount Olga Trail starts on the right and climbs steadily up the ridge through dense forest. Just below the summit, the trail reaches a fork: left leads up the Mount Olga Summit Connector and right continues along the loop. Take a left to the summit and the fire tower. Here at the summit, there is a kiosk with a map of the trails. To finish the Mount Olga Trail, head back down to the junction and turn left. The trail descends down to Shearer Hill Trail (on your left) before popping out onto the campground road shortly thereafter.
