Dodger Point
Nature
Dodger Point is a 5,760-foot summit in Olympic National Park’s Bailey Range, rising sharply above the Elwha Valley and draining into tributaries of the Elwha River near the Grand Canyon of the Elwha. Named by ranger Sanford Maurice Floe for Forest Service employee William Bryan “Dodger” Bender, it preserves the memory of Bender’s fatal encounter with a moonshiner during Prohibition. A fire lookout built there in 1933 later served as an Aircraft Warning Service station in 1942 and 1943 during World War II. Of the park’s thirteen former lookout stations, only those on Dodger Point and Pyramid Peak still survive.
