Lower Dungeness River — Wednesday, Jun. 18, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Broadleaf beardtongue

We hiked from the lower trailhead 4.5 miles up to Ron Camp Shelter and return.  The trail was in great shape.  We cleared one log.  Many wildflowers were in bloom, including Pacific rhododendron, candyflower, sugarstick, larkspur, paintbrush, Douglas's catchfly, and broadleaf beardtongue.

On an overcast but pleasant Wednesday, we saw no other hikers.  Total elevation gain: 1900 ft.
