Join us on a beautiful backpacking trip in the Staircase Area of Olympic National Park.
Backpacking in Olympic National Park is one of our favorite places for multi-day hikes in the Pacific Northwest.
The stunning backcountry, well-managed trail infrastructure, relatively low crowds, and easy to get permits make us keep coming back to the Staircase Area.
This 55-mile lollipop loop around White Mountain took us 5 days and 4 nights to complete.
The trail starts at the Staircase Area trailhead and heads up the North Fork Skokomish River until it reaches the lollipop portion of the loop at Upper Duckabush Campground.
We did this trail in August of 2024.
