Mt. Lena, Upper Lena Lake, and surrounding areas... Upper and Lower Lena Lakes are in the south part of the Olympic Mtn Range. The trailhead is along Hamma Hamma River road, about 9 miles west of US101. The climbing route to The Brothers also starts at this trailhead, and passes Lower Lena Lake. You'll need a NW Forest Pass to park at the trailhead. Lower Lena Lake is quite popular, so don't expect to find any solitude there.
Mt. Olympus is located in the heart of Olympic National Park. As it is surrounded by long forested valleys, and jagged snowy peaks, it is difficult to see from any vantage point along a road. Before planning a trip, be sure to negotiate the rules/regulations of the national park. The climbing route isn't really straightforward... If you haven't been to the top before, it can be really tricky to know just where to cross certain ridges and start the final rock pitch to the summit - be sure to do your homework before you go!
