Cape Disappointment First Day Hike

Cape Disappointment State Park
-
The tides and currents of the Pacific Ocean have shaped the Long Beach peninsula both literally and figuratively as they have changed our physical and cultural landscapes over time. From erosion, to Dungeness crabs, to shipwrecks, we'll talk about the ever present give and take we find ourselves in, and how we can learn to look closer and start to think about what washes up on our shores. This hike will begin at the Seaview beach approach at 10:00 AM. It will be 1-1.5 miles roundtrip as we head down the beach and then back. Refreshments and treats will be available back at the approach when we return from the hike.
