My brother went missing Jan 3/4 at midnight and he has a preference for hiking in the Olympic Mountains. He dissapeared around Poulsbo WA. HE DID NOT GO MISSING IN THE MOUNTAINS. He has a fondness for the Olympic Mountains and may be heading in that direction. He tends to hike on the east side of the Olympics. He is usually fond of service roads and will go off road at any point. As far as I know he is unprepared for staying outside in the weather, but he is resourceful. I just need to post something so that if anybody is in the area they could please keep an eye out for him. The entire family misses him and wants him to come home. Thank you for putting up with me.

Ranger Hole, Murhut Falls, and Interrorem trails are all in great shape and exploding with wildflowers right now. All three of these short trails are so pretty, lots of water, and quintessential Olympics lush woods. We stayed at the Interrorem Cabin (built in 1908) and had a wonderful time in the nearby area.

#2 of the 4 short hikes we did today. Really enjoyed this hike, the falls are great!

Wonderful little day trip. Trail is in great shape and falls are AWESOME!!! Would reccomend this one anyone wanting to get out and about for an afternoon for a little fresh air and light physical activity. Be sure to stop in either Hoodsport or Eldon to get parking pass. Approximately hour and a half in and out. Driving directions on this site are kind of misleading. Take Duckabush Road (FS Road 2510) a little more than 6 miles, cross over Duckabush River and then go another mile or so to trail head.

Did not check the snow level and tried to make it to Mount Zion. Too much snow, had to turn around. Decided to check out the Murhut Falls. This was my first time to the Falls and I was very impressed. It is a good time to go with all the snow melting. Since it was such a short hike, 1.6 roundtrip to be exact, we decided to go to the Duckabush trail. We found it rather difficult to find the 060 sign to turn at. We started the hike late so we cut it a little short and turned around at the river. It was a nice hike, I am looking forward to making it to "Big Hump" on the next trip.
