Despite the heartrending description of this area in the hiking guides, this trail corridor along the river is gorgeous! Massive trees, rushing clear waters, and intense green immerse you in the pure Olympics experience.
This was a WTA work party to do trail maintenance ensuring the tread remains passable for the next few years by foot, hoof and two wheels.
While out there, the High Steel Bridge is a short 2 mile diversion up FS 2340. Built in 1929, at 375' above the river it's the highest arch railway bridge in the US and was converted to roadbed in 1959. Drive or walk across to enjoy the amazing view!
