This weekend we travelled to the Olympic Peninsula and hiked Dungeness Spit. It is a five mile spit of dune and marsh that juts into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Matt has seen the spit numerous times while transiting between the Pacific and the Puget Sound by ship, but this was our first time to see it up close.
After a picnic overlooking the Strait, we started hiking. It was five and a half miles out to the lighthouse at the end of the spit, and another five and a half back. Along the way we saw a lot of huge logs tossed ashore, lots of sea birds and even a few sea lions.
After about 2 hours we made it to the lighthouse.
Here is one of the sea lions.
And these ducks were hanging out at the lighthouse.
Have a great week!
