Day Hike - Marmot Pass & Buckhorn Mountain
Very enjoyable hike in the East Olympic area for a lovely view and to see some wildflowers. ***Will only go to Marmor Pass; cannot go all the way to Buckhorn since that takes us over the 12 mile round trip limit the Mountaineers has set per the COVID-19 Policy***

Nice out and back hike for a beautiful view. There are often wildflowers in the meadow just before you get to the pass. The elevation is "do-able" since it is spread out over the total 5.75 miles to the pass.
