Upper Big Creek Loop is a 4-mile loop hike in the Hood Canal Ranger District/Hoodsport of Olympic National Forest in Washington, managed by the Forest Service. The trail starts at about 1,100 feet and climbs to a high point of 1,868 feet, with a total elevation gain of 938 feet. It is rated easy. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 78 to 79°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on 20 days a month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the loop run cooler. The trail is open to both bikes and horses. Big Creek Campground and the Big Creek campground hike are each about 0.2 miles away. The Mt. Ellinor Connector is about a mile off, and Lilliwaup Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 2.7 miles away.
