Levee Trail closed

SEQUIM — A popular Dungeness Valley spot for walkers, joggers and birders is closed due to construction activity.

A closure of Towne Road and the adjacent Dungeness Levee Trail is in effect between milepost 2.78 at Dungeness Schoolhouse and milepost 1.98 at Dungeness Valley Creamery at the Lower Dungeness River Floodplain Restoration Project site.

Public access for walking, birding and passive enjoyment will be restored as soon as possible, according to a press release.

Park offers alternatives

PORT ANGELES — The Hurricane Hill Trail is closed through Aug. 26 for mountain goat removal operations. Despite the closure of the popular trail, Olympic National Park has some alternate mountain trails in the nearby area.

• Klahhane Ridge Trail: Starts from the main parking lot near the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center and travels along the ridge for 3.8 miles to Victor Pass. The first 2.8 miles only has 250 feet of elevation gain, but the early ease does come with a price. Once hikers intersect the Switchback Trail, a mile of trail remains with 800 feet of elevation gain.

• Switchback Trail: Park at the trailhead at milepost 15 (2 miles downhill from the Visitor Center) and hike the short but steep Switchback Trail to Victor Pass. This trail climbs 1.5 miles and gains 1,500 feet of elevation.
