k.rose Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Having worked on the Olympic trail crew for 13 years this seems kinda ambitious to me, since it is late October after all. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugenian Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 im going from dosewallips to hoh trailhead in four days via hayden pass lake mills, high divide- should be about 20 miles a day... anything cool to see along the route? never been there before If I remember correctly (and the permanent tissue damage on the sides of my feet serve as a constant reminder the knee bang down from Hayden pass to the Elwha trail is about 8 miles o' fun. Last summer some of this section was washed out and/or lost in a bog or two. Not to say you can't make it though. Sounds like a great time to me. I went from Dose over Hayden, up over low divide and out Quinault in 3 1/2 days and saw a total of 4 people from Dose to Low Divide and never camped near anyone. This was in August. You should have a true lonely time in October. To answer your question (and WITHOUT being a smart ass as above) there is a lot to see. Take the side trip to thousand acre meadow from just before Hayden (see the Wood guide). Scramble a couple peaks in the area. Of course...if you really want to see stuff, you might want to try to add a couple days to your itinerary. Report back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double_E Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 tell ya what... going 20 miles per day you won't have very much time to see much, except for the trail flying by beneath your feet. ...... jeezis Christ, mate... take your time and enjoy it!!! then again, depending on weather, you may HAVE to go 20 miles a day just to stay warm. that sounds like a killer hike though.. Have fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugenian Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I wonder how they knew he was going in October? Pure psychic stupidity (and lack of reading skills) ...would still like a report though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
