Yup, only did about a quarter of the trail though.

Started at the trailhead and made it to Yocum Ridge. I was solo that trip and didn't have enough time to do the whole thing. The elevation gain was a lot tougher than I thought. I almost turned back after Day 2 but decided to stay out for the whole time of 4 days. I'd go back to do the whole thing.

I have a great picture from my last campsite where the clouds are settled below me and you see the mountain peaks emerging from the clouds. I love hiking in the PNW. Olympic was my first experience with backpacking and turned me into a huge fan. I want to do Mount Rainer one day.
