Dosewallips River Trail

Dosewallips River Trail

More images from our hike along the Dosewallips River trail in the Olympic National Forest. I was a little surprised by the sunburst in the image below. The shape of sunbursts is primarily determined by the shuttle type and style. This was not what I expected, but it’s interesting.

This trail section is past where the road was washed out years ago. Supposedly, the intent is to reroute the road to avoid damaging salmon habitat. It would be an expensive project, however, and I’m now doubtful that the money will be available anytime soon.

Difficult Photos

Dosewallips Trail (1)

These photos show one of the more difficult photo situations that I regularly encounter. The top photo shows a level section of the Dosewallips Trail (on the east side of the Olympic Mountains). It appears to be running uphill due to normal perspective looking into the distance.

The photo below is the same trail on a section that climbs up around a washout. It is really quite steep (thankfully not too long, however). It’s really quite difficult to get a photo that “feels” as steep as it is.
