Day Hike - Geyser Valley

Pleasant day hike along the powerful Elwha River. We will visit Goblins Gate, Michael's Cabin, the Hume Homestead, and then take a short side trip to the Dodger Point Trail to a suspension bridge high above the river, and then return via the Rica Canyon junction to close the loop.

  • Easy
  • For Beginners (Getting Started Series)
  • Mileage: 8.1 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,000 ft

 

8:30 am Poulsbo Park and Ride on Viking Way directly opposite the Church of the Nazarine.

This is an easy/medium paced 8.1 mile hike on a good trail. So be sure you are in sufficiently good condition to maintain a steady pace out and back. Bring a pack lunch and plenty of liquids.
