Big Creek — Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Second day driving up to the Cushman area from Olympia, this time to try a new hike with a friend. 

Normally when I drive past here the parking lot is packed (and it was with the nice weather yesterday), but arriving at 9:30 today and there were like 6 cars total. Of to a good start! 

The trail is in lovely shape. Not a lot of mud, zero snow, and no blowdowns anywhere. Lot of water to be had everywhere. As my friend commented: the waterfalls of the Olympics “just hit different”, and I have to agree. 

Also great was the floral life. So many ferns everywhere, tons of moss, and trees. 

Weather was fine, a bit cold, windy and light drizzle but nothing unmanageable.
