We took two cars, left one at each trailhead and through hiked from Notch Pass trail off road 010 to Bark Shanty and out to the Lower Big Quilcene River Trailhead. We had the top section of the trail over Notch pass to ourselves and didn't see any other hikers until we reached the last half of the Lower Big Quilcene trail after the junction and Bark Shanty.
For the most part, the trail is flat, mostly level and in good condition with only a few spots that had branches down that we had to duck under. It was rainy and even tried to snow at one point but we stayed mostly dry under the tree cover. Nice Hike!
