Quilcene Area

A true vision of a Pacific Northwest forest, the Quilcene area is home to big trees, rushing rivers and rolling fog lines. With a multitude of hiking opportunities, the trails in the Big Quilcene area offer something for novice and experienced hikers alike. On its lower slopes, this area is known for its bountiful mushrooms and year-long greenery of moss and evergreen trees, while at its highest elevations within the Buckhorn Wilderness, this area includes steep terrain, barren ridges, rocky cliffs and sharp peaks.
