This trip is initially open only to Olympic River Rambler students. This is a short but steep hike, with 2,400 ft. of elevation gain, following fast-flowing Copper Creek. The Washington Trails Association has been doing a lot of work on this trail. We'll explore the trail, waterfalls, and historic mine sites as we make the short climb to a ridge that offers views of the Olympics and Lake Cushman.
