If you have enjoyed almost any of the trails in the Olympic National Forest along the Hood Canal area, you have benefited from the tireless work of the Mt Rose Trail Crew.
This is an exploratory, get acquainted trail maintenance work party in conjunction with the Mt Rose Trail Crew (MRTC). We have enjoyed decades of excellent trail maintenance work of the MRTC. This is our chance to help them by pitching in as they undertake the rehabilitation of the 5 mile loop trail to Elk Lake in the Hamma Hamma drainage. Future joint work parties may be scheduled based on the outcome of this trip.
