Big Creek — Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

This is one of my year-round hiking spots and I like to time it before a gift giving event like my mom's upcoming birthday because there's a great little store in Hoodsport perfect for fun garden knick-knacks (Canalside Gifts and Liquor), which is right next to Hoodsport Coffee Company, my go-to for a cone after a fun sweaty hike.

The bathrooms are clean with TP. The trail is dry and in great condition. Berries are out. Bugs too, but not too bad. It was muggy as heck today. I had my rain jacket on, hoping to summon some showers. Man, it's dry. I think the sprinkles evaporated immediately. This is a great family hike, just a couple things: stay close to the kids. I've seen cougar prints on this hike. I didn't have issues with bees today, but they can be bad at times. Happy trekking!
