Big Creek
8.39 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •
Hiked from the Big Creek TH up to the Mt. Ellinor lower TH. Zero snow on the trail but the lower TH parking area still has snow. It is drivable if you have the right vehicle..... which was evident by the 3 high clearance SUV's parked there.

Elbo Creek Trail to Buck Mountain
9.21 miles of hiking • 3000' elevation gain •
Elbo Creek Trail is snow free all the way to the forest service road. Once you hit the road the snow was pretty much present most of the way to the 3700' summit of Buck Mtn. I used snow shoes but my partner just booted his way up to the top. No views from the summit....was cold, windy and foggy.

Copper Creek Canyon
5.56 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
Compared to nearby Mt. Rose and Mt. Ellinor this is a less hiked trail, probably due to its steepness and limited views. The first mile, to mile and 1/2, is really pretty awesome if you like big trees, lotsa moss and a crashing, roaring creek. It feels like you are traveling within a forest from Lord of the Rings.... with towering moss covered rocks/trees and some of the largest old growth cedar and Douglas fir trees in the Skokomish Valley. Snow began at around the 1.5 mile mark and from there it took a bit of route finding & trail breaking to get to the ridge which is at 3200'.
