This nature trail provides a good evening walk when one is staying at Fairholme Campground. The path begins opposite the campground’s entrance (ca. 700 ft/213 m) on the North Shore Road (0.2 mi/0.3 km from US 101) and makes a horseshoe-shaped loop, coming back out to the road at a point about 200 yards to the north (0.7 mi/1.1 km).

Although the trail traverses an area close to the Olympic Highway, the forest is quiet and peaceful. Here the path meanders through an impressive stand of tall, old-growth Douglas-fir. The undergrowth is luxuriant, and smaller trees are mixed among the big firs.
