Kloshe Nanitch, Mount Muller & Snider Ridge — Saturday, Jun. 16, 2018

Olympic Peninsula > Northern Coast
What a day

Each trail had very different conditions, so here's my breakdown for each. 

Kloshe Nanitch was overgrown for most of the trek and becoming very narrow in sections as the sides are slowly washing out. Was difficult to use poles due to growth and trail width. Lookout view was beautiful.

Snider Ridge was overgrown to the point of being nearly impassable and unidentifiable. Trees growing in the middle of the trail, chest-high bushes completely obscuring it. If I didn't have GAIA to confirm I was directly on path and heading correct direction, I would've turned around at multiple points. I don't recommend attempting it without pants and GPS navigation. All that said, the views this trail offered were AMAZING.

Mount Muller was great. Well-maintained, beautiful views.

I started from the Kloshe Nanitch TH and planned to traverse across to Mount Muller and return the way I came. After finishing Snider Ridge, I had no desire to tackle that trail again and returned by running/walking along 101 instead. 

Beautiful views, barely visible trail
