Temporary Route - Lower Elwha Rd. to Elwha River Bridge
The 0.6 mile section of trail going west from Lower Elwha Rd. and linking with the completed trail to the Elwha River Bridge was not quite completed before winter weather stopped paving operations. Trail users will be able to use the surface of the new road to reach the continuing trail untill paving recommences in the spring. The actual trail route, which is on the south side of the road, will be used by local vehicle traffic during this period, since the roadbed will not yet support vehicles. (posted Nov, 24, 2011)
