Mount Walker — Friday, Nov. 24, 2017

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Did a quick jaunt up Mount Walker to burn off the turkey (okay, the cheesecake). 

The road is gated right off 101, but the trailhead is less than a 10 minute walk up the road. 

I forgot how steep this hike really is! This is to be my training hike for the winter, and so I wanted to find my baseline. 

Arrived at the trailhead late, at 1:45pm, but was surprised to see the small parking area almost completely full. From the trailhead, it took me 50 minutes up and 28 minutes down. I jogged much of the way down. I was driving away by 3:40, so just about 2 hours total, including the walk to the trailhead, a little chill time at the top, and a change of shoes at the car.
