This is a section of the North Fork Skokomish trail about 5 miles from the trailhead at Staircase Ranger Station at the southeast corner of the Olympic National Park. I have hiked this trail dozens of times and it remains a favorite. This is a particularly nice section of trail … fairly level and dry. This was taken mid-summer … this time of year it’s likely to require snowshoes to get to this point … even though the elevation isn’t very high. The narrow mountain valleys get more snow than the lowlands, even at similar elevations.
It looks like a very peaceful place to be, Allan. Nice!
It is, John. Most jets avoid flying over the park … so usually very quiet.
Cool. I live near a busy general aviation airport, it can be noisy some days. The PJs’ or private jets make a lotta noise!
John, I retired to a small town that’s out of Sea-Tac’s flight path … really enjoy the quiet.
Sounds great
