I love to go a-wandering off the beaten track,
and as I go, I love to sing, my knapsack on my back.
Val-di-ree, Val-di-rah,
Val-di-ree, Val-di-rah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-di-ree, Val-di-rah,
My knapsack on my back.

Labor Day hike up the Bogachiel River, September 4-6, 2016

After hiking the Hoh Rover to its headwaters two weeks ago, I wanted to hike the Bogachiel River to its headwaters also. They're parallel rivers on the west side of the Olympics.

So Guy and I dropped off my car at Sol Duc Hot Springs and drove around to the Bogachiel trailhead where I started up the trail at 6:20 on Sunday evening.

At the trailhead

The lower trail is flat and easy to walk.

I hiked for an hour until I came to a campsite just off the river. It came  at just the right time.
