Day Hike - Dosewallips River/Abandoned National Park Road

Late fall Dosewallips hike. Trip will occur rain or shine.

  • Moderate
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 12.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,200 ft
  • Pace: 2.0 mph

My goals for this trip are:

1. Be safe.

2. Make it as far as the campground in the National Park.

3. Learn something.

Expectations for trip participants:

1. Follow Leave no Trace principles.

2. Have the clothing and gear necessary for shoulder season hiking. This is a low-elevation hike with a low chance of snow but a high chance of rain.

3. Be respectful of all participants.

4. Have the physical conditioning necessary for this trip. The hike is all on an old road with no real steep parts. so we should be able to keep a 2.0 mph pace almost the entire time. 

0800 at the end of the Dose river road (aka the trailhead).
