Lewis and Clark Discovery Trail — Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025

I took my bike on this trail. The start of the trail near Cape Disappointment state park is hilly and forested and a fun ride. It would make a nice hiking area on a warm day. After crossing 101, theres a small segment of dirt trail, which you can avoid by staying on 101, once the trail levels out, it mostly winds through grass covered dunes. There's not as many great views of the ocean because the dunes block them. but there are places to lock up a bike and then walk to the beach.

While it wouldn't make the most interesting full distance walk, it is a great bike ride and other than the short gravel bit, it would be wheelchair accessible, particularly in the dune areas (the forested bit is very hilly, so maybe not as ideal)

Highlights included the whale skeleton, some driftwood sculptures, and elaborate sand castles. Most the educational signs have been erased by the sands of time, so maybe not as educational as my guidebook said it would be...
