Our hiking route in the northeast quadrant of Olympic National Park is shown by the red dotted line.
Approximate elevational profile and walking distances of our hike. We covered ~48 miles (~55 including the ridge-run back to Deer Park to retrieve vehicles). We gained ~19,000 feet and lost 18,000 feet for a total gain of about 1000 feet assuming an end point at Obstruction Point. Yes, this is a rugged area!
