Heads Up

- 2. The Mount Storm King trail includes a steep section with ropes; use caution if the ground is wet.
- 3. Hoh Rainforest parking fills up early; aim to arrive before 9:00 AM to avoid long entry lines.
- 4. Check WSDOT for ferry schedules if crossing from the Olympic Peninsula back to Seattle.
