Staircase Rapids — Friday, Feb. 8, 2013

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Work on the Bridge seems to be coming along quite nicely.
With it cloudy and threatening to rain in Seattle, I thought I would try my luck on the Olympic Peninsula. I was greeted by the Sun and the road graders, which were filling in the pot holes on the road leading to the trailhead. I was very happy to see this work being done. I met several families at the trailhead, but only one followed the trail along the river with me. The river was running fast and the sound it made was very calming. Though the trail to the bridge was closed; you could see from the river that progress was being made. Work is also being done to clear/fix up the trail. It doesn’t look like it will be much longer before this trail is a loop again. This was an easy hike and I enjoyed this hike along the river very much.
The road graders have done a Great job taking care of the pot holes.
The first set of falls you encounter on the trail.
Another set of fails, closer to the bridge.
