Mount Storm King - Sappho Washington Hikes

A 1.9 -mile day hike from Storm King Ranger Station part way up Mount Storm King. This trail offers a steep ascent that ends at a viewpoint high on the flanks of Mount Storm King. The trip starts out on the paved nature trail that crosses underneath the highway and into the bottomland forest beyond. The rich alluvial delta of Barnes Creek supports an old-growth stand of grand fir and red cedar where towering patriarchs rise above a mix of younger trees.
