Notch Pass — Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

We started at Notch 1 TH and hiked to the Townsend Creek bridge on Notch 3 and back (8 miles, 5 hrs) - GREAT EXERCISE! There are at least 12 trees across the trails, Notch 2 having only 1 small tree across it, but all are fairly easy to get over or under or in one root ball mess around. The foot logs on Notch 3 were VERY ICY - tread carefully. Beautiful hair ice on both Notch 2 and Notch 3. The road into the Notch 1 TH is in terrible shape after the new-ish logging road veers off. There are LARGE holes filled with water.
