Mountain biking
This trail is perfect for beginners or those seeking a shorter adventure. At the beginning, you'll find the historic Interrorem Cabin, built in 1907 as the first administrative site of the Olympic National Forest. Today, this cabin holds historical significance and is available for rent. The trail winds through an area of dense second-growth forest before descending steeply to the rushing river below. The trail then follows the river briefly, offering views of a deep pool called the 'Ranger Hole.' It earned its name due to its popularity among Forest Rangers who once resided at the Interrorem Cabin for fishing.
