Updated 31may2022 ~08:15 : up/along Quinault Loop 854, there's a "Connector" to Gatton Creek Trail. However, i did not connect/continue to Gatton Creek Trail because i had earlier on 29may2022 evening read online at the ONF website that the Gatton Creek Trail is/was "CLOSED". < Please read my "next" report for more details of the "Closure" >

30may2022 ~09:30 (mid_40s_F), i was the 6th to arrive at the parking for the Quinault Rainforest Nature Trail. And when i got back at ~12:00 (low 50s_F), the parking (for ~20 vehicles) was almost full.
During my ~2 hr ~4 miles of ramble (CW): Trailhead > Rainforest Nature Trail > Quinault Loop Trail #854 > Trailhead, i encountered/noticed a total of ~30 people: toddlers, children, teenagers, young adults, .. Golden Seniors 👍👍👍; mostly were at/along Lake Quinault. Everyone i encountered were cheery, courteous and friendly.
The Story-boards were very interesting, fun reading and learning. The Trails seemed maintained, and were in reasonably good walking condition despite a few muddy spots. The Restroom (Flushed Toilet) beside the Trailhead/parking was opened and reasonably clean - thank you NFS 👍
Happy Trails Everyone 😀
