Trip Report

Lower Big Quilcene River — Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

We scouted the trail from the lower trailhead to the upper for Gray Wolf Trail Crew.  The trail's generally in good shape.  It's brushy in places, but that will be cleared when the crew works it next week.  We cleared several small logs, but there are no significant obstructions.  Treadwork is needed in a few spots.  The footlog at Camp Jolley has collapsed, but it's an easy rock hop to cross the creek.

Lovely fall colors now, with devil's club and vine maple ablaze.  Fungi are starting to pop out.

Appreciate the report and really appreciate the work you folks do at Gray Wolf Trail Crew. Hoping to join up on a work outing one of these days.
