Four Stream Trail is a short, easy out-and-back hike in Olympic National Park, within the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness in Washington. The route is about 2.2 miles long, with a low point of 903 feet and a high of 967 feet, and it gains about 50 feet of elevation. The National Park Service manages the land. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 76°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly 20 days a month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. A fee is charged for the visit. The Staircase Rapids Nature Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Shady Lane Trail is about 0.7 mile off. Paddlers can head to the North Fork Skokomish River, about 2.1 miles away, and climbers will find Lake Cushman roughly 3.2 miles from the trail.
