Hikes on the Olympic Peninsula

This blog chronicles my day hikes on the Olympic Peninsula. I take relatively easy hikes so I can think about the book I am writing on cosmology rather than thinking about the difficulty of the hike. My ideal hikes:

 

·        Are less than 10 miles in length;

·        Involve little or no elevation gain;

·        Are in fair weather, rated “A” or “B” (see below);

·        Involve some sort of interesting natural feature.
