Olympic Discovery Trail

Here’s a view of the Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) looking west from Kitchen-Dick Road. The ODT is an ambitious trail project which, when completed, will stretch 130 miles from Port Townsend to the Pacific Ocean. Five original railroad trestles have been converted for trail use. This year is expected to mark the completion of 53 miles. It is an interesting trail in that it traverses towns, farms, fields, and the rivers and streams of the Olympic Peninsula. It is a wide, paved multi-use pathway. Unlike wildland trails, it crosses city streets so users do need to be mindful of traffic hazards.
