This is a short trail to a nice view of a water fall. The trailhead is about a mile beyond the Duckabush trailhead on FS road 2530. The first part of the trail is on an old road bed. The trail ends at a viewpoint of Murhut falls. The Green Trails map says the trail is 1.3 miles long, but the sign at the trailhead says 0.8 miles.

Thank you to whoever improved the trail since we were last there about a year ago! The falls were awesomely full and beautiful as was the creek below the falls! I wish I could figure out how to insert pictures, but my computer skills are not as good as my hiking skills and ability for my elderly age!

I spent Saturday exploring the Duckabush area of Olympic National Forest, not having been there in about 8 years. I began with the Duckabush River Trail #803, going to Big Hump and back. The weather was partly cloudy, with only peeks of St. Peter's Dome. The trail is a great forest walk, with almost constant sounds of the river and other small streams accompanying you. It begins with a fairly gentle climb over Little Hump, and enters The Brothers wilderness at one mile, then descends to the river, where it is level to almost the three mile mark. The climb to Big Hump is pleasantly strenuous, where I found myself among the clouds. Saw only one other party, and that was almost back at the trailhead. Next I went up the road to Murhut Falls trail #828. A fairly plain and somewhat brushy path climbs gently .8 mile to a view of a spectacular double falls. You can scramble down to the lower falls, then up to the upper falls, which have a cave behind them. Be careful on the slippery rocks! I then headed back up the road to the Ranger Hole and Interrorem trails. Another short one, the .8 mile Ranger Hole trail leads to the Duckabush River, and a rock perch over a boiling, surging waterfall. Interrorem is a .25 mile nature trail that has interpretive signs about early times on the Forest, as well as huge cedar stumps and vine maple arches over the trail. Total mileage was approximately 11.5 miles, and I would recommend the Duckabush as a great area for overcast days.
