Halfway Rock
About
Halfway Rock is a summit in Washington's Olympic National Park, inside the Daniel J. Evans Wilderness, about 6 miles from Port Angeles. It sits within designated wilderness, so expect a backcountry setting rather than a developed destination. The closest neighbor is Heather Park Trail, just 0.3 miles away, with Heart of the Forest Trail about a mile off. Mountain bikers can head to West Bench, about 1.4 miles away, and paddlers will find Morse Creek roughly 3.6 miles away.
