Notch Pass — Friday, Sep. 9, 2005

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Myself, my Dad, and his neighbors (Pam and Bob) headed out to find the Notch Pass trail and do some exploring. The group was looking to make it easy so we brought two cars and left one at the trailhead and the other off the road up to Mt. Townsend. We started off the road to Mt. Townsend (in the end a good choice since you avoid the steep vertical gain from the trailhead). The trail was in excellent shape and showed signs of being lovingly cared for by the WTA (including the trailside bench w/ WTA carved in it near the trailhead). Overall it was a good quick hike (about 2.5 miles for the section we did)...
