Key information: Quinault River Valley

  • Another western valley in the Olympic National Park with huge and ancient rainforest making for fascinating and inspiring walking.
  • This is a 13 mile trek from crossing Graves Creek, on a large log bridge and you can walk to Pony Bridge which provides a beautiful and scenic gorge. Then one can carry along to Enchanted Valley.
  • Beautiful views of swirling emerald pools and horsetail falls along the canyon walls.
  • Bears are common in this area. Please take precautions and bear canisters are essential of the entirety of this trail.
  • This is remote mountain walking, on which you will have to be self-sufficient and the weather is often bad here. Come prepared.

    ANYONE GOT ANY GOOD PHOTOS? WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO POST THEM!
