Three Forks, Upper Gray Wolf River to Gray Wolf Pass — Monday, Sep. 1, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Northern Coast
Three Forks bridge mess (prior to clean up)

A four-person Gray Wolf trail crew spent Labor Day week removing fallen trees from its namesake trail in addition to clearing the Three Forks trail down from the Deer Park campground.  The Gray Wolf trail is now free of fallen trees from the Olympic Forest / Park boundary up to Falls Camp.  Later this month, another crew will head in to clear the trail from the Slab Camp bridge to the ONF/ONP boundary.

Accessing the trails at the ONP Deer Park campground was easy.  The road, while steep and narrow, was in good condition albeit with some washboarding on the steeper curves.  Smoke from the Bear Gulch fire was only noticeable on the last day in and primarily at the higher elevations.  The Three Forks and Gray Wolf campsites were comfortable due to the river's cooling influence; both have newer privies in good condition.
