Hiking Marmot Pass & Buckhorn Mountain - Washington's Olympic Mountains

Join me for an early-August hike up the Upper Big Quilcene River Trail to Marmot Pass, and then up to the summit of Buckhorn Mountain. This is an Olympic Mountains classic hike.

We hike 4.6 miles up through forest on the well graded and wonderfully maintained Upper Big Quilcene River Trail (trailhead 2500 feet) and set up camp at Camp Mystery (5400 feet). This is the highest camp with year-around water. Then we hike another 0.7 miles and 600 vertical feet out of the forest and up to Marmot Pass (6000 feet), where we can then see down into the Upper Dungeness River Valley, and deep into the Olympic Mountains to the north, west and south. Here we leave the main trail and head up an obvious climber's path another 1.0 mile and 1000 vertical feet to reach the rocky summit of Buckhorn Mountain (6988 feet).
