South Coast Wilderness Trail - Toleak Point, Third Beach & Oil City — Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Pacific Coast

North to South. Started in snow at the parking lot for third beach, upon returning to car days later snow was mostly gone. The first few overland trails are in fairly good condition. One night at Toleak and one at Mosquito Creek. Crotch level crossing at Goodman creek. Also pretty high and fast crossing Mosquito Creek. Camps at both spots were legit. The other overland trails, specifically over Hoh Head after Mosquito Creek is pretty gnarly up down, and lots of blow downs some you gotta stop and look for trail after getting around. Ropes and wood ladder stairs were helpful, but note they are washed out as well as signage at a few overland trails. Mud flows and such to contend with as well. Saw one tent day one at the beach, the rest was wildlife. *Definitely give yourself extra time to get go over Hoh Head as you will need to make it past 2 points once you're on the beach about a mile down if headed South
