Big Creek — Sunday, Mar. 17, 2024

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Starting at 9:45 the small lot was full but there was no one parked on the road. When I left around noon there were cars up and down the road.

Going clockwise around the loop there was very little snow on the trail until a bit before the Elinor Connector. From then onwards there was consistent snow until after the bridges. While I carried microspikes, I was able to safely navigate with just poles as the snow was soft and slushy. 

If I had started earlier or it was a colder day, I would want microspikes. If it refroze then it would be tricky to navigate.
