Third Beach — Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023

Olympic Peninsula > Pacific Coast

Trail to Third Beach was generally in good condition, although there were a few muddy spots, particularly in the lower part of the trail near the beach.  At the end of the trail, there was an impressive pile of driftwood at the mouth of the river, and it was a bit challenging to navigate the logs to both cross the driftwood and the river at the same time.  We did notice someone who had hiked the trail in waterproof knee boots, and they took an easy path to the river without needing to do much log climbing and then waded across (the water depth when we were there was about mid-calf).  Probably an easier option, based on our experience.

The beach itself was amazing, with lots of sea stacks and a waterfall at the southern end.
