Hoh River Trail to Blue Glacier — Friday, Aug. 7, 2020

I did a three day backpack of the Hoh River Trail to Blue Glacier, staying at Elk Lake the first night and Olympus Guard Station the second night.  If you intend to do this hike and go to Blue Glacier, be sure to research the rope/ladder climbing required to navigate a landslide area just before you arrive at Glacier Meadows.  Olympic National Park has done a good job of making this area navigable but this type of climbing and descending isn't a normal part of most hikes.  The trail through the Hoh Rain Forest was muddy from time to time and bugs were an issue in some locations, although not too bad overall.  For additional visual information, please check out my video below.
