Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

FAVORITE hike to date! Although it felt long and was surprisingly hotter than we thought this is a must. Kids, dogs and parents with babies were summiting so you can too ;) switchbacks were in great condition, we used yak tracks which I'm not sure how much they helped but traction helped on the short snow field, otherwise dusty and there were several rock areas that took a second to navigate. Steps were easily marked and the views were incredible. Definitely recommend going ALL the way up. Yes, it's steep but it's a different view. Paths will be narrow so be prepared to step aside especially in busy months. (It was pretty busy).
