Badger Valley Trail to Grand Pass Trail Loop

08/15/22

Had a blast on this trail with a few small caveats. The hike down into Badger Valley was gorgeous and in full wildflower bloom in July. The 2 miles or so before reaching Grand Lake (at least when we went) are significantly overgrown - think waist to chest height vegetation and bushwhacking. Mosquitoes were also more intense than usually expected on the pacific coast. Gorgeous campsites all around Grand Lake. Perfect place to see the Milky Way. Views from Grand Pass are the highlight. If we did this again, we might simply do the out and back on Grand Pass.

Backpack to Grand Park in the Olympics

The beauty of many of the north coast trails in the Olympic Peninsula is that your car does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. This is certainly true of the Grand Valley Trail, which begins more than a vertical mile above the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the end of the Obstruction Point Road. Sixteen miles up Hurricane Ridge Road, just as the Visitor's Center comes into view, the gravel Obstruc...

Olympic National Park is built for someone with a week or more to spare for backpacking deep into the heart of the park's endless miles of wilderness. Between the mountains, the coast, and the rainforest, there is a lot of park to see for someone who is trying to fit their visit into an extended weekend, but there are plenty of options for these travelers if they know where to go.

Hike to PJ Lake, Olympic National Park

A short and scenic trail of tranquility that leads to the secluded Lake PJ, hidden on Hurricane Ridge. Nothing but nature stirs here. The trail, while well-traveled, is far quieter than others in the surrounding area of Olympic. You might see one other hiker. It is lined with wildflowers and in the late summer, huckleberries. The path is short but steep, dropping 600 feet in the first .6 miles ...

Klahhane Ridge (Switchback Route)

Hiking to Klahhane Ridge is a rewarding experience that provides you with sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains. Further access to overnight opportunities is possible if you venture beyond the summit trail. Here’s the scoop: Get an early start. There is a decent amount of parking available at the trailhead, but the lot can easily fill up during peak summer months and on sunny weekends. Start...
