Staircase Rapids — Saturday, Aug. 27, 2016

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Arrived at the Staircase Ranger Station at about 7:45am; the road in was fine for all vehicles, only unpaved for a short stretch. We went clockwise, starting by heading over the wooden bridge over the Skokomish. The trail climbs slightly as it follows the rapids upstream, river rushing on the trail's right. The brand new suspension bridge is wonderful, and marks the halfway point I'd guess. The latter half of the trail is less exciting than the first, with little water views but nice none the less. Took my time to take pictures, but even so it took us about 2 hours, maybe a tad more.
