Duckabush River — Saturday, May. 3, 2003

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

A good warm-up hike for the season. Duckabush is easily accessed and was particularly crowded this day. Many scouts returning after an overniter at 5 mile camp. The trail was in good condition. All blowdowns had been cleared save one large root ball that forced you around. A bridge was out at Big Hump but, again, there was an alternate route provided. Plenty of water on and around the trail, but the tread was in good shape. Hiked to 5 mile camp, ate lunch and then returned in a light drizzle. All in all, a very nice workout.
