Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Mount Walker by ShaniceS7
When you first get there you’ll have to walk a little to get to the trailhead due to the gate being closed for the winter. Although this hike is just 2 miles, you are gaining quickly. So it is a continuous incline so get ready for your legs to possibly feel like noodles haha The trails were very well maintained. I saw a good amount of people while I was coming up and going down. It took me about an hour and a half to reach the top and that’s including multiple times stopping along the way. I did hit up both viewpoints. The trail leads you to the north viewpoint but if you follow the road at the top it will lead you to the south. Left: North Viewpoint Right: South Viewpoint

Hi, do you have a record of how many miles you hiked total? I'm wondering how extra long the gate closure will add

I don’t have record of the miles in total I did. But it felt like it was less than half a mile from the gate to the trail head.
