Hike 5/14 Elwha River - OVERFLOW TRIP
7 miles, 500 feet elevation gain.
Trip description
Let's hike along one of the mightiest rivers on the Olympic Peninsula, and explore a fascinating vista that overlooks the site of the former Glines Canyon (aka Upper Elwha) Dam. Located a few miles west of Port Angeles in Olympic National Park, the hike begins where a major washout several years ago blocked the Elwha Valley/Olympic Hot Springs Road. A bypass trail now takes you around the washout, and the road can then be walked for many miles through the gorgeous river valley. We'll go about 3.5 miles to the canyon overlook and back again. Expect to see great views of the river, the snow-covered peaks, and maybe some wildlife sightings too. Trip fee includes ferry cost and national park permit fees.
