The One-Of-A-Kind Trail In Washington With Numerous Bridges And Old Growth Trees Is Quite The Hike
Have you been on any good hikes lately? Washington’s best hiking trails tend to have diverse scenery, a well-marked path, and of course, plenty of rugged beauty. If you’re up for a bit of a challenge, check out the 4.8-mile Upper Big Creek Loop Trail in the Olympic National Forest. Though you’ll probably want to pack your rain gear no matter what time of year you go, it will be well worth it.
Although the trail is occasionally closed for weather-related reasons, for the most part, it stays open all year.
Churning Big Creek and its tributaries create a soothing soundtrack.
If you go clockwise, it's a bit easier on the knees.
You'll find foot bridges crossing the creek as well as making some of the tougher terrain much easier.
Big-leaf maple, vine maple, western red cedar, western hemlock, Douglas fir, and red alder can all be found on this route.
The frequent rain keeps everything lush and green.
If you're interested in exploring more of the area, this is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in its natural beauty.
