Marmot Pass via Upper Dungeness River Trail, Upper Dungeness River — Saturday, Apr. 5, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
The Dungeness River

Made a go at Boulder Shelter via the Upper Dungeness trail and got about 6 miles out / 4500' before the snow became overwhelming. I bet it's doable in snowshoes, but not with a dog - the snow's just too soft and deep. Otherwise: beautiful day, great trail. No major obstacles and the log bridges are well-thawed and easy to traverse. I followed a sedan to the TH so, while the roads are definitely rough, they are absolutely passable. If you're only going as far as Camp Handy or thereabouts, no issues whatsoever.
