Skokomish Wilderness. Between moss- and fern-laden banks, the Dosewallips and Hamma Hamma Rivers run cold and clear north and south, respectively, of the borders of The Brothers Wilderness. At 6,866 feet, The Brothers is the highest peak in the area, with a distinct double summit that ranks among the most popular climbs in the Olympics. Through the center of the Wilderness the Duckabush River splashes down a wide and lovely glacier-carved valley shadowed by tall hemlock, fir, and cedar. From the Duckabush the terrain rises steeply into a mazelike network of forested ridges that peak on The Brothers to the south and 5,701-foot Mount Jupiter to the north. In the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, the area collects about 80 inches of precipitation each year, and temperatures stay temperate, rarely rising above 80 degrees Fahrenheit and seldom freezing along the river.

Ed will be sharing his photos of snow geese at the Skagit River delta in spring and the autumn oaks of Klickitat County (the best autumn color of Washington), just north of the Columbia River Gorge. The Skagit River delta serves as a wintering ground for hundreds of thousands of snow geese, trumpeter swans, and bald eagles. It's located at the north end of Puget Sound at the mouth of the Skagit River, which collects water from the northern Cascade Mountain Range and carries it to Puget Sound. Top: Snow geese wintering at Fir Island in the Skagit River delta fly in formation close to each other to reduce air resistance. Bottom: Snow geese wintering at Fir Island fly in the early morning with Whitehorse Mountain in the background. Photos courtesy of Ed Book, © edbookphoto.com Perry Avenue in East Bremerton.

  • Hiking Guide
    Olympic Hiking Guide Hiking Olympic National Forest’s Unprotected Wildlands The Olympic Mountains are known internationally as one of the finest remaining natural areas on Earth. Visitors flock to the region during all seasons to experience outstanding forests, rivers, subalpine meadows, and glaciers firsthand. Most visit only the most well known attractions, leaving the more obscure (though often equally impressive) areas to those with the curiosity and willingness to seek them out. What follows are descriptions of how to access some of these special places in our Olympic National Forest, ranging from easy day hikes to energetic, multi-day adventures. What distinguishes the hikes below, however, is that each travels a wild landscape that has yet to receive ironclad protection via congressional Wilderness designation. As a result, despite their beauty and wildlife, these areas remain vulnerable to future logging, destructive road building, and off-road vehicles. Immensely valuable in their own right, the continued integrity of these areas directly contributes to the health of the Olympic Ecoregion as a whole, which has been recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site. But don’t take our word for it—visit these areas, form your own opinion, and let our leaders in Congress know what you think. This free publication is offered by Olympic Forest Coalition, an organization dedicated to protecting our Olympic ForestPage and Aquatic Ecosystem.
