Tunnel Creek Trail

Trail Overview

Tunnel Creek Trail can be found approximately 15 minutes from Quilcene, Washington. This trail is one of many in the area that offers gorgeous views of the Quilcene Mountain Range. This trail is compact gravel/ dirt with occasional rocks scattered across the road due to previous landslides (which can be seen in the images attached). Scattered potholes can also be found along this trail. Small waterfalls, the Big Quilcene River, and Tunnel Creek can be seen from this trail. This is a one-way in, one-way out trail that ends with the parking area for the Tunnel Creek hiking trail. Cell service is lost fairly quickly, so make sure to have offline maps downloaded and have others know where you are. Higher elevations can hold snow and ice very well into spring days. As always, don't forget to tread lightly, clean up after yourself, leave public land cleaner than you found it, and most importantly, have fun and enjoy what Washington has to offer.
