Beautiful hike along the river. Not a really hard hike but there is a little bit of uphill and downhill. There is a bathroom before the hike at the parking lot and one when you get there.
Lovely flat hike through the temperate rainforest. Lots of photo ops with the steely blue water of the Hoh River running nearby and multiple tributaries crossed along the way. The island itself is a great shady beach perfect to take off pack and shoes for a snack or lunch. A nice distance for a day hike for inexperienced hikers or families; for the experienced thru-hiker this is a nice easy half-day
Stopped here for lunch on a day hike. Overall it's a pretty easy hike by most hike standards, not really any significant elevation gains and trail is pleasant and gorgeous!
One of the Oly Pen's best places!
The stay was nice, but in the morning you always woke up to the stench of the bathroom, lol. Would recommend, and would probably go back!
