06/12/25 - Elwha to the Road

We took a short hike following the Elwha River from the Madison Falls parking lot, up and down the detour and then to Olympic Hot Springs Road. It's summer now, and the spring flowers are gone. The park people have been doing some work on the trail, making it wider at points and shoring it up. Meanwhile, the mules are back in town, and the Elwha River is roaring.
