Duckabush River — Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

I have done this one before as a day hike, but this time I went with my wife and two friends as an overnight adventure. We got to 5 mile camp at around 1:30, and there were already a few tents set up. We were looking for solitude, but we had a good time with our neighbors and their dogs. After we got settled, we walked up another 15 minutes and did a little jumping in the water. Beautiful place to hang out and cool off. The water was quite frigid, so we didn't hang out in the water very long. It was a nice evening, and even though the cloud cover came in, our things stayed pretty dry. We left about 9:15 in the morning to head back, and the weather was a little cooler with some mist. Overall, a great place for an overnighter.
