Murhut Falls, Ranger Hole - Interrorem Nature Trail — Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

The road to the Ranger Hole trail is all paved. You will find a vault toilet about 50 feet down the trail. 
We actually drove right past this TH and headed to Murhut Falls for the first hike. The road is passable with lots of potholes. My daughter followed us in her little civic and didn’t give me any dirty looks, so that means the road wasn’t that bad. 
No toilet at the Murhut Falls TH. The trail is in great shape. Very smooth. The elevation is very mild. It’s a quick hike to the falls and boy are they pretty! The trail ends at a bench looking at the falls. If you’re agile, you can climb down a steep trail to the water and feel the mist. This is such a short trail, be sure to have some other trails in your pocket to make the trip worth your time. 
The dirt road between the Murhut TH and Ranger Hole TH is only about 3-4 miles but it took us 20 minutes dodging potholes. 
The cabin at the Ranger Hole TH looks nice. Apparently you can rent it from the Forest Service. The trail is flat and nice until it drops down to the river, where all the elevation change happens at once. Still easy and our 14 year old pug was able to make it in her own. 
Very mossy and beautiful.

Love those hikes! I had a 6 month old in a snuggly so the distances were perfect and my son had a blast working the well hand pump at the cabin.

Ah yes. The pump is fun but I’m all in for the mushrooms! 🍄
