Day hike
We had a great hike at Big Creek today! Just 9 miles west of Hoodsport, it was really easy to find. We parked at the trailhead & used the restroom before starting the 4 mile loop. The first mile was really easy, but then it started to climb steadily with some steep inclines at parts. The trail was very well maintained. All the bridges were in good repair. We encountered a few folks, but not many. It took us about 3.5 hours to do the complete hike including the extra half mile at the bottom back to our car with about a half hour stop for a picnic lunch. The fall foliage was out as well as the sun, which was quite a surprise since it was pouring rain on our drive in from Olympia. Lots of waterfalls & rushing rivers, truly beautiful scenery. Will have to take the kids back this summer. This would be a great summer hike because of all the shade from the trees.
