Derek and I rode here in the early days of our current Port Angeles stay and liked the area enough to ride again. I like the varied terrain all in one trail system. This is not a heavily visited trail system…at least during the week. In our two visits we did not see anyone else, …
The Sequim Lavender Festival is coming up so we got a head start and did a road ride around that area before it got too busy. The lavender is in season and blooming like crazy EVERYWHERE! This ride started from Robin Hill Farm County Park which is right on the Olympic Discovery Trail. We rode …
This trail isn’t new to us, we rode this section when we first arrived in Port Angeles but we liked it so much, we rode it again. Singletrack through the forest the whole way kept it cool enough on a hot summer day. We rode this as an out and back again, though we passed …
Deer Park Rd out of Port Angeles, part of Olympic Naitonal Park, is quite an adventure. Derek rode up it before it was open to cars for the season so we knew what to expect. After the pavement ends it’s 8 miles of narrow winding dirt road with a lot of blind corners and a …
Before you get too excited, we didn’t see any Gray wolves. This hike is up in the Dungeness network of the Buckhorn Wilderness and a lesser visited spot than some of the more popular hikes. We have so much time up here we are able to do everything we want so we hit this up …
I’d consider Miller Peninsula trails to be easy. Sure, there are some climbs but for the most part everything is gentle rolling terrain. That was perfect for a nice stroll through the woods. This time we didn’t get down to the beach, but there are trails that take you there. We stayed up on the …
We rode the first section of the Olympic Adventure Trail a couple weeks ago and I blogged about it here. The other day we rode the next section from the little community of Joyce. Instead of an out and back we did a loop with a gravel road and some pavement. This was a fantastic …
Angeles Lake hike is a big hike. I knew my knees wouldn’t like all the descending so I picked a smaller hike and Derek hiked this. I dropped him off at the trailhead most of the way up Hurricane Ridge and he through hiked to the trailhead down by the Hurricane Ridge Ranger Station. The …
Our latest version of the Discovery Trail entailed riding east from Sequim through Jamestown S’Kalallum Tribal land to Discovery Bay and back. In 1855, the S’Klallam leaders signed a treaty with the Federal government with the understanding that they would always be able to hunt, fish and gather in their “usual and accustomed” grounds. As …
On our way to a short hike we stopped at Webster Woods Art Park in Port Angeles. We didn’t go inside the building, just walked around the trails in the woods next to it so we could see the outdoor art. There are a lot of sculptures hidden among the trees and ferns so you …
