Just west across the Puget Sound from Seattle rises Mount Walker, the only mountain facing the Puget Sound that has a road to the summit. Mount Walker has two distinct summits - the north and south located 1/2 mile from each other. Each summit features a different view - be sure to visit both. The trailhead is located 5 miles south of the Quilcene Ranger Station, east of Highway 101 off Mount Walker Viewpoint Road.
