Kestner Homestead Trail

The Kestner Homestead Trail at Olympic National Park, WA, is an easy 1.4 mile loop hike that leads through an old homestead and the Quinault Rain Forest.

This trail is similar to the Maple Glade Rain Forest Trail, but it's longer and slightly less eye-catching.

The trail leads from the ranger station, over to the Kestner homestead, and around back of the Maple Glade trail. It's a great trail to pair with the Maple Glade and the homestead is interesting; however, it's slightly creepy when you're alone and it's off-season at the park!

Dogs are also not allowed on this trail.
