Skokomish Staircase Rapids Private Hike
Day Hike Tours
1 Day 4-8MI / 6.5-13KM
Trip Highlights
Hike from Staircase along the North Fork of the Skokomish River, through old-growth forest dripping with moss and epiphytes. Dramatic rapids punctuate the hike, and an optional extension hike down the “Shady Lane” trail offers great opportunities for interpretation and learning about the ecology of Olympic National Park‘s old-growth forests.
(Important: We run hikes in almost all weather conditions and very rarely cancel. See our terms and conditions for information on cancellations and refunds.)

Trip Logistics & FAQs
Where Do We Meet?
You will rendezvous with your guide in front of the Staircase Ranger Station East of Hoodsport and caravan to the trailhead. The last few miles of road are well-maintained gravel, but drive slowly and watch for potholes. Your guide will contact you approximately 7 days before your hike to coordinate the exact time and location of your rendezvous.

Our guide was great. Patient with my two children (6 & 10yo). We learned so much on our day hike and felt very comfortable with our guide.

We had a spectacular day with our guided hike led by Kyle. He was very prepared for our safety and fun. Lunch was exceptionally good! As we walked, he checked in with us periodically to make sure we were doing ok. We never felt uncomfortable having a guide with us all day; rather, it seemed like he was a friend of ours leading a hike. Wonderful experience for me, my wife and three daughters (14, 12, 8).

4 years agoAnother fantastic hike with Wildland Trekking!!
Consistency and excellent quality are the level of service the Wildland Trekking Team provides. Drew continued to meet those high standards!! Drew also made his special Pimento Cheese and prosciutto on a croissant sandwich for our lunch that was really delicious!! Looking forward to my next hike with the Wildland Trekking Team!!
