Hoh River Trail to Elk Lake — Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015

Olympic Peninsula > Pacific Coast
One of the "wet" sections
Starting at ~3 miles in (and out to the Hoh Lake junction past the Olympus Ranger Station) the trail has multiple large washouts and a few swampy sections from the recent flooding (there are probably five sections of shin-deep water that vary from 30ft long to close to 75ft); ~10 large blowdowns as well.
Blowdown-washout combo

That first shot...nothing like shin-deep water on trail. Swampy is right. Thanks for the update on conditions.
