MORE HIKES!
July 3 - Duckabush to Big Hump:
7 miles round trip. We’ll hike the first section of a key backpacking trail along Duckabush River, one of the major rivers draining the east side of the Olympics. This trail is in good condition, and passes through rich forest ending with a .5 mile climb to top of Big Hump, where we’ll have a nice view out towards the sound. Activity #411925 Sec# 01, $32
July 17 - Mt Zion:
3.6 miles round trip. The hike is short and steep—we’ll take our time! There are a few wild rhododendrons growing along the trail, and lots of great views from the top. This is one of the shortest hikes possible for such a view. Activity # 411926 Sec #01, $32
