Hiked with Blake Erickson from the Lower Mt Townsend trail to the summit and then onward toward Little River Summit. Beautiful day with amazing views spanning from Sequim to Port Angeles, Everett, Hood Canal and downtown Seattle as well as a number of snow covered peaks in the Olympics. Amazing hike. Not a hard hike given the gradual elevation and switchbacks. OnPekse of my favorite hikes in the PNW ever! I plan to go back and tackle a number of the other peaks in the Olympics soon! Trail is in great shape. I am looking forward to snow shoeing this trail in the future.
