Staircase Rapids — Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Approximately 5 miles of the road along Lake Cushman is gravel and a bit rough.  Even though it had recently been graded, it has a washboard surface which makes it a bit rough for RV's.  I traveled slowly and made it just fine.

The hike along the river was beautiful with lots of places to scramble down to the water's edge and enjoy the rapids.  Lots of great photo opportunities.  

I encountered a few mosquitoes but it wasn't bothersome at all.
