Hike 4/19 Olympic Peninsula Waterfall Hunting
Right near Port Ludlow lies this nicely maintained forest loop to Ludlow Falls.
Ludlow Falls is more of a cascade than a falls, but the forest setting made it especially scenic

The way to Murhut was lined with wildflowers like these yellow violets
Clumps of trillium were common here too
