Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

After being a little lost in finding the trailhead (proceed about 1 mile after ignoring the first sign to the left for trail, go left about a mile at the next left, which has no sign), we were surprised to be one of only two cars at the trailhead on a Sunday. The weather was cool, and as we approached Windy Camp, the clouds came in thick from the lowlands. The trail is in excellent shape with evidence of recent care. Good job!! Toward the top, we met the other party coming down, shapes emerging from the fog. At the top, it was difficult to tell which was the top, for not being able to see the other summit. No matter, poking in the clouds produced both... On the way down, many more people and many more cars at the trailhead.
