Mt. Walker Overview
A great local drive, or strenuous hike, on a clear day! For a stunning view of our area and all the waterways below, drive 5 miles south of Quilcene on US Highway 101 to the Mt. Walker Road. Turn onto Mt. Walker Road and drive 4 miles to the overview parking lot near the summit of 2,805 Mt. Walker. VIEW A MAP. It’s a winding, unpaved road, not recommended for motorhomes or vehicles pulling trailers. Closed Seasonally, closing in winter and opening in Spring. Call (360)765-2200 to confirm dates annually.
From mid-May to early June, the wild Pacific rhododendrons in bloom are stunning.
