Dosewallips area

Explore the range of ecosystems within the Dosewallips River Basin as this low elevation area gradually climbs to the ridges of the Olympics. Beginning in the low, wet temperate forest that meets the open Hood Canal, this area transitions to subalpine forests of fir and western white pine and eventually gives way to alpine meadows at its highest elevations. Seal Rock Campground along Hood Canal offers boating and fishing access and nearby Mt. Walker provides accessible views of the Olympic and Cascade peaks.
