Graves Creek Trailhead is a gateway to the Wilderness, where many backpackers begin their journeys (to make your own backcountry plans, contact the Wilderness Information Center nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/wilderness.htm. For more information on Wilderness Information Center locations and hours, go to the WIC website.) Shorter day trips on this trail will take you over a high bridge above Graves Creek, the first of many creeks the trail traverses through the mossy old growth forest.
