The Kloshe Nanitch Lookout Point rests on a large rock outcrop and has been used for vantage for hundreds of years. The Kloshe Nanitch Trail begins at the end of West Snider Road and gains 2500' in 3 miles to the lookout. For those seeking an easier path, a road also leads to the Kloshe Nanitch Lookout but is only recommended for experienced drivers in high clearance vehicles. Views from the Kloshe Nanitch Lookout are stunning with notable points inlcuding Lake Crescent, Mt Olympus, Sol Duc Valley and the Sol Duc River.
