Head east on the Dosewallips River Road from US-101. It's ~9 miles to the trailhead where the road is washed out (600 ft).
Hike east along the river on the abandoned Dosewalips Road. Staring at 500 ft, the road is nearly flat for the first couple miles and then gradually climbs to 1,700 feet at the Dosewallips Camp 6.5 mi from the trailhead. From the camp, there is the 1.1 mi, 100 ft elevation gain Dosewallips Terrace Nature Trail.
TBD - Leader will email a comprehensive plan in the preceding week.
