CABIN FEVER? Take a walk along the Olympic Discovery Trail and visit the abandoned Crescent Mine

GOT CABIN FEVER? Take a walk along the Olympic Discovery Trail about 30 minutes west of Port Angeles and visit the abandoned Crescent Mine.

All the information about this great local hike, plus photos and a video, was posted by Bret Wirta, “The Incidental Explorer,” at his “Explore Olympics” website (which also includes information about local attractions, resources and accommodations. And there are archived stories back to 2009).
