I love this hike; one of my favorites in the Olympic Mountain area. I hope that the PNW rhodies are blooming which makes this hike extra nice. It is an out an back hike along a pretty river with our lunch spot at 6.5 miles right beside the river. As 13 miles in total it is long but this is a "doable" due to the overall low elevation (1800ft over 6.5 miles is not too much really!).
