Mount Storm King
A steep peak beside Lake Crescent. The final stretch requires fixed ropes, and the summit overlooks the whole lake, making it a trendy hike.
The Mount Storm King trail shares its starting point with Marymere Falls. It is about 3 km one way with roughly 600 m of elevation gain and is steep throughout. The final section along a rock ridge requires fixed ropes, and the summit viewpoint overlooks the whole of Lake Crescent, making it one of the peninsula's most popular scenic hikes. The round trip takes about 3 to 4 hours. Wear shoes with good grip; the rope section is not recommended in rain or for those afraid of heights.
