Mount Storm King

"Mount Storm King: 4.1 miles (hard) Mount Storm King is one of the most popular trails at Lake Crescent. Even with its popularity, it does come with some serious considerations before hiking. The trail climbs STEEPLY the first 2 miles to an "End of Maintained Trail" sign. Olympic National Park does not maintain the trail above this point. The last 1/4 mile involves a steep rocky trail with a series of ropes. The ropes are not maintained by the park and should be used at your own discretion. I personally witnessed someone break their ankle at this point and park rangers needed to rescue them. But, if you are able to summit Mount Storm King, you will be rewarded with incredible views that cannot be overstated."

"Trail length 4.1 miles, 2,106 feet of elevation, more challenging uses ropes for final climb"

"One of the best spots to get views of the Olympic range, and the lake."
