About This Trail

Imported description

It goes from the south to the north by the Olympic Mountain Range and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The start and end of the story are on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. A bicycle and walking trail will eventually be paved. You will be on roads, but there are a lot of gravel sections. The ODT is a major highway that spans the entire peninsula.
