There is a nice rocky knoll about 1.5 miles in from the trailhead of the North Fork Skokomish river trail (Olympic National Park). I have hiked the trail around a hundred times, I suppose, in all kinds of weather, in all times of the year. My favorite spot for lunch is this knoll … although the quality of the view is now being reduced due to the growth of trees in the previous slide area. This was part of the area of the Beaver Fire in the late 1980’s (you can still see some of the resulting snags) … and the slides the following winter/spring wiped out additional areas that didn’t burn. The slides did create some views that are now going away … it’s worth it, but the views will be missed.
Great place for lunch during a hike ! Fires can also have it’s (temporary) advantages 🙂
Have a lovely evening and many greets.
Thanks, and a pleasant evening to you, too.
A very nice place 😊
Our gorgeous wild areas are always changing. Beautiful lunch spot.
What a beautiful place!
