Olympic Peninsula. From Slab Campground there are two trails, one leading to Deer Ridge and the other descends down to the Gray Wolf River, connecting with the Gray Wolf Trail. We'll spend the day working on clearing the Slab Camp Trail of downed logs and debris.

From Slab Camp there are two trails, one leading to Deer Ridge and the other, the Slab Camp Trail (#838), leads to the Gray Wolf Trail. The trail to Deer Ridge is somewhat steep, but leads to spectacular views of northern Puget Sound. If you do not want to go up, the Slab Camp Trail provides a reasonable alternative, as it gently descends to the Gray Wolf River, where it meets up with the Gray Wolf Trail at about 2.5 miles.

Driving directions:
From Sequim, drive US 101 west across the Dungeness River bridge, turning left soon afterward on Taylor Cutoff Road. Drive Taylor Cutoff two and a half miles, then make a right on Lost Mountain Road. After another two and a half miles on Lost Mountain, make a left onto Forest Service Road 2875. Slab Camp is reached after four and a half miles on 2875.
