Heart O’ The Forest Trail

March 16, 2017 jmaurizi 0 Comments

This was the first hike I did in Olympic National Park. It is a well maintained trail through a temperate rain forest. The many shades of green is amazing. The trail ends after an easy two miles. There is a social trail that drops down to a branch of the Ennis Creek. Not really worth the scramble down but the hike along the Heart O’ The Forest trail is enjoyable and a good introduction to what a temperate rain forest is. It is also convenient if you are camping at Heart o’ the Hills or just visiting the visitor center in Port Angeles.

Equipment: Light hiking shoes and clothing appropriate for the weather. It does rain here a lot but don’t let that stop you. Pack a light rain coat.
