Mount Storm King, Olympic National Park

Loved this hike! Definitely will feel it the next day but the views are amazing. By the time we got to the ropes, heavy, dark clouds had rolled in and unfortunately we couldn't continue. If you're afraid of hikes, the last portion may not be for you as there are steep drop offs on either side of a very, very narrow path. This is right before the ropes. Overall, it's a beautiful hike with rainforest, views, and fun challenges.

Incredible hike, even in not so perfect conditions! Take your time on this one because it's all uphill. A lot of the roped areas beyond the maintained trail aren't crazy inclines and you can get up with some careful footing (though the ropes are a nice security, especially if you aren't blessed with grace). I found them more helpful on the descent. I wasn't lucky enough to see sweeping views due to fog, but the summit was rewarding anyway. A must-do if you're up for a challenging trail that won't suck up your entire day.
