The info is helpful. In the late 70’s, I hiked extensively in the ONP. I hiked the Staircase and Sol duc in Summer and Winter beautiful scenery. Did not need back country permit then. Hiked the Grey Wolf trail numerously. In 1978, I Helped organize a 50 mi back pack going in at the Sol duc, crossing Seven Lakes Basin / High Divide, Hoh Meadows, Blue Glacier, summited Western Peak of Mt Olympus, and out thru Hoh Ranger Station. This was a seven day event! It was exquisite scenery, a demanding /difficult hike, and a testament to God’s creations.

We loved it and saw a lot, but only had one day. It’s a good start, but even though some of the routes were closed for the winter, that just didn’t cut it. Agree with you that the park deserves 2-4 days. Maybe 2 in the winter, but if I were to go back, I’d go in the warmer months and give it the full 4 days.
