Hoh River Trail to Blue Glacier — Wednesday, Jun. 22, 2016

Olympic Peninsula > Pacific Coast
Overlooking the Blue Glacier from the moraine.
Much of our trip was in rain, clearing up on the last day where we hiked out the whole 17 miles from Glacier meadows. The snow is all gone until you drop down off of the moraine onto the blue glacier. The forest is quite beautiful, the glacier is spectacular and worth the hike. The trail has deep mud in spots that is hard to get around. There are a couple of slightly tricky log/creek crossings that require good balance and careful footing. The ladder is still in place just before Glacier Meadows due to the earlier washout and that can be a bit tricky as well. The campsites and pit toilets are in good condition along the way and at Glacier Meadows.
