Lewis and Clark Discovery Trail — Friday, Nov. 24, 2023

Southwest Washington > Long Beach Area
Clark Memorial Tree Sculpture

Started from the parking lot at the end of Sid Snyder Rd, walked north along the beach up to the Clark Memorial Tree, and returned via the Discovery Trail.

Road Conditions. Paved road (as along as you don't drive onto the beach), restrooms.

Trail Conditions. The beach was large and easy to walk thanks to the outgoing tide (~0 ft). The cutoff to the memorial tree sculpture was unsigned and easy to miss. Lots of social trail crossing and along the sand dunes. The Discovery Trail was smoothly paved.

Crowds. Plenty of parking at 2pm. Even though the beach was open for razor clamming, there were no big crowds. Some vehicle traffic on the upper part of the beach, and we had to watch out for bicycles as well as reindeers and elves on the Discovery Trail.
