Description

Added by Riley Comstock

Lower Big Quilcene River Trail is a gorgeous hike through a rugged PNW forest that takes you past the lower part of the Big Quilcene River.

While this hike does not provide any sort of fantastic views, its does provide an easy ~13 mile roundtrip hike from the trailhead to a parking lot for the Upper Big Quilcene Trail which leads to Marmot Pass. Along the way you will cross several bridges, some large and wide, other simple log bridges with one sided rails. There are several camping spots along the way, both right next to the river. The second camp is right past a single log bridge with a handrail on the right side, and the Upper Big Quilcene trail is approximately a mile and half past it.

Head to the forest service website for area updates and a printable map.

Hike Falls View Canyon

This hike is located immediately off of Highway 101 in the Falls View Campground. If the campground is closed you can park right outside of the gate (but don't block it) and hike in. Inside the gate you will see 3 paths in front of you, take a left and after about a quarter mile you will reach the trail head. There are actually two trail options here. I recommend hiking the option on the right ...

Hike to Mt. Walker North & South Viewpoints

Directions: From the Quilcene Ranger Station drive 4.6 miles south on US 101. Watch for the signs for Mount Walker View Point. Turn left onto Mount Walker Road. The trail head is about a quarter mile up the road with pull over parking on the left side of the road. In the winter and early spring, the road is closed and gated very close to US 101. Park near the gate and walk the road to the trail...

Rocky Brook Falls

To find the falls, head north up Hwy. 101 past Brinnon, Washington and hang a left at Dosewallips Rd. Keep an eye on the mile markers. Right after mile three and crossing a small bridge, there's a parking area on the left side enough for about 6 cars. The hike to Rocky Brook Falls is a short one and doesn't require much planning, effort, or time. From the parking area, cross the street (after...

Buckhorn Mountain

The climb to Buckhorn Mountain above Marmot Pass is a must see for every PNW adventurer with the endurance to tackle nearly 14 miles and 4,400 feet of gain. Listen to the rushing waters of the Big Quilcene River as the trail gently traverses up 5.5 miles to Marmot Pass. Be sure to filter water at Camp Mystery, just below the final climb to Marmot Pass. This is the last water source until you...

Marmot Pass via Big Quilcene Trail

This trail has a nice, steady climb that's perfect for beginner or intermediate backpackers. The first 2.5 miles follow a forest trail along the Big Quilcene River. For the next 3 miles, the trail flows in and out of shaded trees, over a small talus field, and through a meadow before the final accent to the pass. From here, follow the ridge to the right or left and find your camp. If you want ...

Marmot and Constance Passes

The secret to this trip: Marmot Pass and Boulder Shelter, where you can camp on National Forest Service land. Multiple excellent, large backpacking sites sit just on the edge of the National Park, giving you great access to Mt. Constance and Mt. Deception, two of the tallest peaks in the Olympics. And Marmot Pass itself is not something to be overlooked--it is an absolutely stunning route on th...
