The Hiking Trail Hiding In Washington That Will Transport You To Another World
Washington hikers, rejoice. Summer is upon us, and that means even our most traditionally snowy trails become more easily accessible. Located near Lilliwaup on the Olympic Peninsula, the Mount Ellinor Trail offers some of most scenic views in the state. And while it’s best attempted by more experienced hikers, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience you won’t want to miss.

To reach the trail, go east on Hoodsport Road to Forest Service Road 24 from Hoodsport. Turn right and drive to Forest Service Road 2419, then head left and drive a mile to the trailhead.





It's possible to complete the hike without equipment in the summertime. In other seasons, crampons or ski poles are recommended.


They're harmless, but protective of their home, so give them their space.
Hiking is the best way to break a sweat. These Washington trails are so beautiful, you just might forget you’re exercising entirely.
