This route was originally part of the old Forest Service trail that extended from Snider 
Guard Station on the Soleduck River to Jackson Guard Station (now Hoh Ranger Station) 
on the Hoh.

The trailhead (436 ft/133 m) Is located on the Hoh River Road 0.5 mi/0.8 km inside the 
national park, opposite the mouth of the South Fork Hoh. The path climbs to a north-south 
ridge—a jog in the divide between the Hoh and Bogachiel Rivers—and follows this ridge 
northward, then descends to rhe Bogachiel along a spur that parallels Tumwata Creek. Hikers 
should carry water because it is not avail­able until one reaches the Bogachiel bottoms.
