Big Tree Trail
Olympic Peninsula
updated 1 month ago
This trail is reported to be in good condition, with no snow and no significant bug issues as of August 2 and July 18. The road access is suitable for all vehicles according to both reports. The trail itself is a short walk down a ravine through an old-growth Doug Fir forest, leading to a "breathtaking" big tree at the end. One report from July 18 mentioned a sign about a fallen hornet nest, but the nest or hornets were not observed by the hiker. Parking and bathroom facilities are available at the trailhead, which is located at the end of a resort-like area.
