Leader's notes

We will do the road walk along the Elwha River, including the very cool Elwha dam 8 mi to the trailhead and 2.4 mi to Boulder Creek campground. After setting up camp we may snowshoe to Boulder lake. There will be time for soaking in the hot springs Saturday night or Sunday morning if they're clean enough.
