Use the Bainbridge Island ferry. At Bainbridge, follow Route 303 to Poulsbo and then Route 3 to the Hood Canal Bridge. Cross the bridge, following Highway 104 West to Highway 101 North.

There'll be signs for La Push, Rialto Beach, and the Olympic National Park at this intersection. After eight miles on 110 (with two signs for us along the way), turn right on Mora Rd. (at the "Three Rivers Resort") and cross the Sol Duc river. 
Look for Kilmer road and a fairly large sign for us (see
photo at left) on the right about 0.5 miles past the Sol Duc
bridge. Turn right on Kilmer and drive for 0.9 mile - we're
on the left just before the road ends. Travel time from Seattle
