Mount Jupiter — Saturday, Jul. 30, 2011

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Just a word to the wise that at least the Mt. Jupiter Trail route is closed at present because of logging. I received a message from a ranger indicating that it may in fact be closed for the season. We had planned on climbing Jupiter this past weekend, and drove several miles up the access road only to arrive at a locked gate with signs indicating that the trail was not accessible. So we diverted to Mt. Townsend (to the north) and enjoyed an amazing hike there instead!
