Trip Report

Lower Gray Wolf River — Thursday, Apr. 30, 2026

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Gray Wolf River at Cliff Camp

I drove in via FR 2880 from Palo Alto Rd past Dungeness Forks.  The road had been graded since I was there last fall, so the deep ruts on the drop down to Dungeness Forks are gone.  Also, the rockslide past Dungeness Forks has been cleared.

I parked at the lower trailhead by the river.  The weather was perfect.  I hiked in a t-shirt most of the day.  I hiked the trail to the end, then returned via the upper trail to the Cat Creek Trail.  The trail was in generally good shape, with a few muddy spots, and a total of 9 logs on the trail, none of which presented a serious obstacle.  There were tons of trillium blooming, along with fairy slippers, stream violet, and western sweet coltsfoot.  I encountered a handful of other hikers.

Hiked a total of 10 miles.
