Something with a rewarding view. I will be staying in Forks, so nothing too far away from that region. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks in advance!Going to Olympic National Park (WA) this wkend, %26amp; I'm looking for a medium difficulty level day hike.?
Couple of things:
Mountain top view day hikes just do not exist in the Forks area. Forks has tons of valley (the Hoh, Bogachiel) and beach hikes (Oil city, La Push) nearby.
To find mountain top view day hikes you will have to drive back to the Lake Crescent area about 30-40 minutes away. There are plenty of mountain hikes there. See the link below at the Olympic National forest website
I can personally recommend both the Mt. Muller Loop and Pyramid Peak. Both are in the medium difficulty range around 12-14 miles round trip.
In the National Park, the trails get difficult. See the second link. Mount Storm King is nearby and has fabulous views, but it is very steep.
Enjoy the hike. Bring plenty of ibuprofen.
