Trail Overview

This trail is located just off Highway 101. It’s an easy in-and-out route with some bumpy rocks and ruts along the way, nothing most 2WD vehicles can’t handle. There’s a slight incline near the end as you head up to the top, where you’ll hit a gate. Even though it doesn’t go through, the views up there make it worth it—overlooking Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains. It can get pretty busy on weekends, but it’s a solid spot if you get there early.
