Southwest County Olympic Short Trail
Difficulty Rating:
The Southwest County Olympic Short Trail is a-you guessed it-short walk. This trail is easy and less than a mile long, with mostly flat footing. It’s so quick that you can loop it a few times for a longer trip, or just do it once to get the kids or dogs outside. The trail isn’t very well-marked, so consider downloading a GPS track ahead of time. Expect moderate traffic.
Getting there
The trailhead for the Southwest County Olympic Short Trail is off Olympic View Drive.

Southwest County Olympic Short Trail Description
On the hunt for a short and sweet walk that gets you into nature but doesn’t take much time? Try the Southwest County Olympic Short Trail. This loop is less than a mile long and mostly flat. Bring the family and get some steps in, perhaps doing a few laps if you want more time on the trail.
