Itinerary description
Three-day backpack on Aurora Ridge and Happy Lake Ridge. We started at the Aurora Ridge on Sol Duc Rd and ended at the Madison Falls trailhead on Olympic Hot Springs Rd. We camped at Sourdough Camp and Happy Lake. Few people hike these trails. The only reliable water sources are at Eagle Lakes and Happy Lake. There are occasional views, but mostly it's a forest hike. Aurora Ridge Trail was free of blowdowns, but can be hard to follow where it crosses meadows. Happy Lake Ridge Trail had many big blowdowns that required some acrobatics to get past.
