Home Lake (5,330') and Constance Pass (5,800') are popular backcountry destinations located within Olympic National Park - accessible from the Upper Dungeness Trailhead within the Buckhorn Wilderness. Due to trail length, these two areas are best experienced as a backpacking adventure with excellent backcountry campsites scattered throughout the route. Camp Handy, Boulder Shelter or Home Lake itself - all provide a great springboard for reaching Constance Pass.
