Anderson Pass (4,464') is located 16 miles from Dosewallips Road in Olympic National Park. The pass spans a small divide between the Quinault River drainage (west), and West Fork Dosewallips River (east). This long but moderate route runs through old growth forest and subalpine meadow to the pass with connections for Lake Constance, Hayden Pass, LaCrosse Pass and Anderson Glacier. The trail continues over Anderson Pass down the Quinault side into Enchanted Valley.

Honeymoon Meadows was coined after several newlywed couples visited this area in the early 1900s

Anderson Pass spans a small saddle below Mount Anderson (7,330') and the Mount LaCrosse massif

A long bridge near Dose Forks leads over a high volume piece of river, located just downstream from the West Fork confluence

Some of the West Fork Dosewallip's tallest trees are located between Big Timber and Diamond Meadows

Some mountain goats on the Olympic Peninsula, like this one patrolling the walk up Dosewallips Road, have become habituated to people and can pose problems for hikers

Bryophytes provide food and habitat for wildlife, a source of readily decomposable organic material, and contribute to a healthy nutrient cycle

The Dosewallips River runs approximately 34 miles from its headwaters on Mount Anderson and Sentinel Peak to the Hood Canal

Blowdowns on the steep climb to Honeymoon Meadows open up good views of Mount Anderson and East Peak

The subalpine forest is a transition zone from dense forest below to alpine tundra above treeline

Campsites along the West Fork Dosewallips River Trail are well-regarded for their location amid big trees along wide, flat banks

The shelter at Camp Siberia is 'rustic', but offers welcome protection from cold winds that blow through the area

There are over 3,000 miles of rivers and streams in Olympic National Park

A steep climb from the parking area offers a good look up the Dosewallips River Valley

A large basin at the foot of Mount LaCrosse provides good terrain for backcountry skiing and sledding

The entry and exit points for the river ford at 12.6 miles can be concealed by tall flowering brush like this

Relatively mild grades and good trail conditions facilitate travel from the washout parking area to Diamond Meadows; conditions are generally more varied and rugged beyond that point

The term 'old growth' is evolving, but typically refers to forests that are 200+ years old with abundant downed wood, snags and a multi-layered canopy
