Deer Ridge — Monday, Aug. 27, 2018

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Lovely misty forest

Hiked last Saturday, turned around at the benches at about 2.7 miles due to time constraints and smoke/mostly mist making for almost zero visibility of surrounding views. Trail in good condition, pretty in the lush forest. Just wanted to say that the directions on the WTA website and in the associated book are missing a key piece of info:

"Continue 2.6 miles and bear right onto Lost Mountain Road. In another 2.6 miles, turn left onto dirt Forest Road 2870."

THERE IS NOT A SIGN FOR ROAD 2870. IT IS SIGNED SLAB CAMP RD. We drove past it and had to backtrack, recheck the mileage, and then deduced it was the only logical place to turn.

Want to go back when it's clear! A good workout and not much traffic on the trail.

Didn't proceed higher than here.
