Staircase Rapids — Tuesday, May. 10, 2016

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

We arrived at the trailhead at around 10:30 with only 3 other vehicles. The sun was shining and it was an amazing drive to the trailhead. The trail is easy but uneven tread. Those with knee problems should definitely wear their brace as we heard from another hiker who forgot hers. We did not pass any hikers all the way to the bridge but shortly after we were greeted by a few groups. There were no obstacles blocking any portion of the trail but we did cross a wet portion of the trail but manageable. I was excited to see the bridge since the last time I hiked this trail the bridge was washed out.
