Route Description for Humes Ranch Loop Trail
The Humes Ranch Loop is a pleasant loop through the forest in the Elwha River Valley. Currently, it’s impossible to access the railhead directly due to washout, so plan for a much longer day.
The trail begins from the end of Whiskey Bend Road. Hike gently down the valley wall to where the trail forks. Stay high on the wall (to your left) and loop along the valley floor if you’d rather have one steep ascent and a relaxed remainder of the hike, or go right if you’d rather start with a steep descent and then spend the return trip gaining gradual elevation. Either way, you’ll loop back around where the valley ends. There are campsites all along the trail on the valley floor, so get comfortable if you’re here to spend the night.
Getting to the Humes Ranch Loop Trail Trailhead
The trailhead for the Humes Ranch Loop is at the end of Whiskey Bend Road. Because of washout, you’ll need to begin at Madison Falls.Route Information
