ONP road closure, reopening
On Oct. 12, the Elwha Valley’s 4.5-mile Whiskey Bend Road closed to all use for about five weeks to allow repairs. The road has been closed to vehicle use since severe storm damage occurred in late 2014.
Because heavy equipment and large trucks will be used to haul equipment and supplies, the road will be closed to foot, bicycle and stock travel during the project.
On Oct. 10, the Olympic Hot Springs Road reopened to its terminus at the Boulder Creek trailhead. The road has been fully or partially closed since early September to allow construction projects to be carried out safely.
Olympic Hot Springs Road will provide access to the Glines Canyon Spillway Overlook and the Boulder Creek trailhead.
