This is a really pretty forest hike up a river valley with modest elevation gain. It's all in the trees, with the exception of a couple of lovely meadows, and the trees are big. Much of it is close to the river. I'd been...
Mt Townsend has a wide open summit with spectacular views of the Olympic mountains, Strait of Juan de Fuca, Vancouver Island, Puget Sound, etc. It's a very popular like from trailheads on the east side, but few people cl...
Most of this trail follows an old logging road that's grown over. So, the gradient is relatively gentle and the tread is wide and even in most places. It's mostly in forest, and there are a few partially-obstructed views...

I did a one-night backpack, starting at Upper Dungeness trailhead, hiking 6.5 miles to Boulder Shelter where I pitched my tarp and left my camping gear, then continuing 3.5 miles to Home Lake and back to Boulder Shelter ...

I started the hike at the Upper Townsend Trailhead. It as cloudy and the clouds were increasing so I decided to take my time hoping that with the warmth of the day the clouds would burn off. After an hour or so at the to...
Simple trail to Buckhorn Lake- largely through forest. Uphill all gradual - rated moderate for distance
This steep hike is almost entirely in young, dense forest, which apparently grew in after a burn. There are no views till you reach the ridge on the Snow Creek Trail, where you'll find a couple of spurs to rocks with vie...
There was a light dusting of snow on the ground that thickened a bit as I climbed the trail, but not enough to be a problem. The snow just made everything more lovely. The sky was overcast at first, but I climbed out of ...
Did a 1-night loop backpack, totaling 27 miles. Started from Upper Dungeness Trailhead at 9:30 a.m., after first stashing a bike near the Tubal Cain Trailhead. Forest Road 2870 had been in terrible shape when I was there...
This hike is mostly forested, and much of the forest is grand old trees. It follows the Dungeness River for the first mile, then turns up Royal Creek. The elevation gain is fairly gradual, and the trail's in good shape. ...
This is a less-used route to the top, compared with the popular trail that starts at FR27-190. It's a longer drive in to the Little Quilcene trailhead, but since the trailhead is higher it cuts about 700 feet from the el...
Trail in good condition. Intermittent snow starting about 2.5 miles up, but no snow on summit. Some wildflowers starting to bloom.
Lovely Saturday for a hike on this trail. We went as far as Camp Handy, and encountered no obstructions on the trail. A WTA work party was hard at work on the lower mile of the trail. There were lots of backpackers ca...
This is a short hike on a good trail to a small summit with limited views. On the way up, you get a pretty good view to the south of Mt. Townsend. On top, the view is mainly to the northeast, through trees, of Discovery ...
Toni and I made a second attempt at reaching Buckhorn Lake (snow has too deep in Spring 2018.) Lucy continues to improve. Temps in 60’s.
Fresh 2 inches of snow after everything had finally melted. Lucy did great again until the “turnaround zommies.” I rolled an ankle shortly thereafter.
Upper Dungeness trailhead to Camp Handy and back. Beautiful, crisp morning with temp in upper 30s. Blue skies but snow on the way. Toni hiked strong.
Mount Townsend via Little Quilcene Trail. Walked into the clouds; sleet and rain on the hike down. With Toni and Lucy.
Hike to Summit of Mt Townsend and back.
Beautiful wildflower hike in Buckhorn Wilderness once you get above trees.
