Salt Creek — Saturday, Aug. 18, 2012

Olympic Peninsula > Northern Coast
This was an easy, lovely hike. Trail was in good shape, and no bugs. It ends rather oddly, though. After around 3 miles you see a very steep switchback going down and think "Oh, this must be taking me somewhere lovely." But when you slide your way down there you just see a sign that says "End Trail." Why do they end the trail at the bottom of a steep climb when there's not much there? My advice - "end trail" as soon as you see the steep switchback down.
Did you find this trip report helpful?

The Salt Creek Trail used to be an alternative way to get to Lookingglass Lake, but that part of the trail was abandoned a very long time ago.

11 years later: there isn't even an end trail sign now! We wandered for a bit and concluded that there was no more trail. Nice forest hike though!
