Discovery Park Beach and Highlands Loop — Friday, Mar. 11, 2016

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

This was a fun Hike to take on. There are many different trails to hike here. I started out on the Loop trail but branched off onto the south beach trail. Both trails were in great condition and at the bottom of the south beach trail there is the lighthouse. I then continued on with the hike to the north beach trail which is hard to find. It is just past the lighthouse and that takes you back up to the north bluff. From there I went to the Hidden Valley trail. This is where I had a few problems. Several trees were down not hard to pass if you have waterproof shoes, which I didn't. I then met the loop trail and took it back to the south parking lot and headed home. All in all this was a great hike and well worth it. I suggest taking it while it is low tide as you can see some crabs and sea anemones. Just wear waterproof shoes and it is no problem at all.
