Anyone hike the Mildred lakes trail in the Olympics? I plan on hiking it this summer, just curious.

Not a walk in the park but not bad if your in decent shape. I would plan on overnighting it. Long hike for a day trip but manageable.

FYI they have changed the permit system for the OP.
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

If you are not willing to die for freedom then take the word out of your vocabulary.

Ya, I was wondering about the permit system. I'll have to check on that, thanks.

Did it a few years ago scouting for bears in August.  It's not maintained but sees a decent amount of foot traffic.  It's easy to get off track in a few places so I found it handy having a gps map downloaded (there is extraneous flagging everywhere).  Didn't fish but there were a few people trying their hand at it.  I don't think I'll go back there bear hunting... too many people and not enough sign.  Also, topo maps make it look flat where the lakes are... it is not flat, and is fairly thick.

So its not maintained and they still want a permit to hike it?  I hope this is one of those free permits you fill out at the trail head?
“In common with”..... not so much!!

It's in the Mt Skokomish Wilderness, not the national park so not sure what the post about permits referred to.  I can't remember if I had to attach a card to my pack
