Miller Peninsula-Thompson Spit — Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008

Olympic Peninsula > Northern Coast

This is a 5 mile round trip hike to Thompson Spit.The trail access and description can be found in Craig Romano's book,"Dayhiking the Olympic Peninsula". The tide was high so we hiked only to the beach which is 1.75 miles. The view of Mt Baker, Mt Shuksan, and Protection Island was beautiful! Again we saw many varieties of mushrooms! There is a log to the right of the trail as you are about to get to the beach that has at least a hundred turkey feather 'shrooms! We saw only one other group of hikers, a young mom and her 2 sons. It's a great family hike esp on such a beautiful day as we had today!
