From here the trail becomes tame, with only minor elevation changes and small creeks to tiptoe across. We will get to the five mile mark and turn around at a viewpoint at a bend in the river. This popular hike has some of the best of the Olympics flora and fauna and is well worth a visit. The hike is approachable for hikers of every skill level, and while the initial 300 foot hurdle might be a challenging for some youngsters, most of the route is a decent trek for kids.
