Notch Pass Hike
Details
Believed to be a former Native American trading route through the Olympics, this historic trail was rebuilt by the Civilian Conservation Corps (the CCC) in the 1930s. It was relocated in the early 2000s and is a popular WTA volunteer work party site to this day. The route now goes through a notch easily spied from Highway 101 in the Quilcene Range, climbing steeply to the notch and then traversing the hillside.
This hike is 8.6 miles roundtrip with 2,700 feet of elevation gain and is rated “Hard” by WTA. We’ll meet at the Park and Ride and carpool to the trailhead. No pass is required; no services are available at the trailhead. We’ll be starting at the lowest trailhead, on FS Road 2700001. Bring your Ten Essentials, lunch, and gas money for your driver. Leashed dogs are welcome.
