Trail Overview

Rocky route featuring a few heavy washouts, a couple of switchbacks, and some steep 10% grade sections. High clearance is a strict requirement to safely navigate the eroded sections. Your efforts will be rewarded with a few excellent campsites offering spectacular, sweeping views of Hood Canal and the Seattle skyline.
