GRAYWOLVES - West Elwha realignment
Date & Time: 05/09/2026 08:30 AM TO 03:00 PM
I will be holding several day crews to put in a realignment on the south end of West Elwha (ONP). About 3/8 mile from the old Altaire campground is a long stretch of puncheon that is old, rotten and treacherous. We have received the go-ahead to put in a realigned trail (about 250 feet) and dismantle the old puncheon. This will be a fun project!
We will be entering via Madison Falls trailhead. It's most efficient to get to Altaire via bike, even with having to push the bike over the bypass trail. However, walking is fine too. The bikers will get to the job site earlier and get started.
Madison Falls trailhead
Saturday, May 9
Be ready to walk or bike by no later than 8:30 (so plan on arriving NLT 8:15).
GRAYWOLVES - West Elwha realignment (cont'd)
Date & Time: 05/016/2026 08:30 AM TO 03:00 PM
This will be a continuation of our May 9 work to route the trail away from old, rotten puncheon. We will continue putting in the new trail.
Meet place: Madison Falls trailhead
Meet time: 8:30
Bike is the fastest way to get to the jobsite, but walking is okay too. It is almost 2.5 miles to Altaire Campground along the old Olympic Hotsprings road, then about 3/8 mile on trail to the job site. If you bike, know that we do have to push our bikes over a 1/2 mile bypass trail.
Our tools will have been cached at the job site from the former crew, so we will be going in light. I doubt we will finish on this day, but if we do then the tools will need to be packed out.
