WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

From Sequim, head east on Highway 101 for 2.4 miles then turn south on Palo Alto Road and follow for 7.5 miles. Then go right on Forest Service Road 2880, which is steep and not recommended for trailers. After two miles on Forest Road 2880 stay left on Forest Service Road 2870. Stay on 2870. There will be a marked short spur trail on the left side of the road, where it rounds Three O’Clock Ridge.
