1515. The Staircase Rapids Loop
This is an easy hike of just under three miles. It includes a total accent of 285 feet. You will need between one and a half to two hours to finish it.
This hiking trail runs along the Skokomish River’s North Fork. It takes you through a temperate, lush rainforest and comes complete with exceptional views of both rapids and waterfalls. Veteran visitors say this is a beautiful place to be. Typically speaking, as this goes to press anyway, you typically do not see a lot of other hikers here on this trail either. It offers views much like those found in the Hoh Rainforest, huge moss-covered trees complete with lichen.
