Hoh River Trail to Blue Glacier — Monday, Jul. 2, 2018

This hike is awesome, highly recommend. We did 3 nights and 4 days. First starting the trail for a few miles you will be with the other day hikers. The trail is pretty flat for 12.5 miles. This forest is so cool. So much vegetation and the trees were huge. It was raining but the trees helped protect us. We camped at Olympus Ranger Station and it was nice with a valley, river and lots of spots. I recommend going just a little farther to Lewis Meadow. This camp site is perfect. Day 2 and still raining. The trail finally starts to climb at 12.5 miles from trailhead and we stayed at elk Lake. This campsite only had a few spots where water wasn't going to puddle but nice having the shelter to dry out for a little while. Day 3 finally not raining and day hiked up to lateral moraine. Pretty good climb the whole way up. When you come to the ladder take the rope instead, it was easier to get down and up. Try to stay at glacier meadows on night 2. This camp site had tons of spots and so pretty with a meadow. Hike another mile higher to the lateral moraine and have a great view of the glacier and Mt Olympus. We saw many people summiting and crossing the glacier. We headed down all the way to Lewis Meadows for our last night. Day 4 hiked all the way out through the pretty forest again this time with no rain. Saw tons of deer, some elk and lots of critters. Gators were nice due to the rain. Add this one to your list, the forest is unreal.
