Mount Walker — Saturday, Jan. 16, 2021

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Trailhead

Hearty hike with a steep incline the whole way but the payoff is two viewpoints once you get to the top.

Arrived around 11AM and parked along the road with about 15 other cars since the road to the trailhead is closed in the winter. Walked up the gravel road about 1/4 mile to the trailhead and it was a workout of inclines and switchbacks from there to the top. Although my tween and teen seem to skip and jog up.

Views from the top were about half visible with it being an overcast/foggy day but still beautiful. On a clear day they would be incredible.

Trail takes you to the north viewpoint and from there you can walk about 10 mins along the road to the southern one. After that you can either take the road back down which is longer but less steep or head back down the way you came.

Note: There were a few trees across the trail but easy to climb over.
