Pioneer's Path Interpretive

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain	USFS Trail #
Accessible	0.2 Miles One-way	459 est.		884

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

This easy barrier free 0.3-mile loop trail borders the Sol Duc River through second growth stands of hemlock and fir. Interpretive signs depict how some early pioneers lived off the land.
