Day 31: 11 planned walking miles from Port Angeles East to Carlsborg. Trail connections and road sections require current route guidance.
Route overview, not turn-by-turn directions.
Day 31 is planned as 11 miles to Carlsborg. The county’s history describes a community built around lumber, agriculture and local services.
Clallam County’s account of Carlsborg describes a commercial and cultural center for the Sequim-Dungeness area. Lumber and agricultural businesses stood among homes, with a school and post office serving the community. By 1920 it had roughly 300 residents. Homes and services developed alongside the businesses that supported the surrounding valley.
Industry continued to shape the community. In 1968 the Port of Port Angeles acquired land near Carlsborg Road for industrial development. The county’s planning history follows that relationship between work and housing, a useful perspective on the settlements east of Port Angeles.
The walking itinerary assigns 11 planned miles from Port Angeles East to Carlsborg. The next stage continues toward Blyn, with the Olympic Discovery Trail providing part of the wider regional context. The trail reuses railway infrastructure, including historic trestles, carrying an older transport network into the peninsula’s present.
Choose where you live
Continue to the official registry that serves you. It decides eligibility, handles registration and contacts you if you may match a patient.
United States — NMDP
NMDP accepts new registry members who are 18 to 35, live in the US, its territories or freely associated states, can meet NMDP’s health guidelines, and are not already registered through another US organization. Joining happens at home: you answer a few questions on NMDP’s site, they mail you a free cheek-swab kit, and you swab and send it back. Once you are a member you stay listed until you are 61 unless you ask to be removed — 61 is when NMDP takes you off, not an age at which you can join. NMDP makes the final eligibility decision.
