Mount Townsend — Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

It shouldn’t be possible to be up here in mid-February. The weather was amazing. Microspikes helped for the first 15 minutes or so coming down, but if you go slow, they’re not necessarily needed.

Did you find this trip report helpful?

Wow that's a nice camera! Is that a 50 mm prime lens you were shooting with?

Thanks! I believe that’s right. I usually shoot with the standard 80 mm but decided to take my slightly wider angle lens out for a spin or two.
