- The hike to Lake Constance in Olympic National Park is a challenging adventure, with over 5,784 feet of relentless elevation gain packed into just 2.6 miles of steep, rugged terrain. The trail takes you through a striking burn area with charred trees and loose, rocky soil, past massive fallen logs, and up nearly vertical sections, leading to the pristine, crystal-clear Lake Constance, surrounded by towering peaks—a true reward for the effort.
