Dungeness Recreation Area, Sequim

This is our weekly walk at the Dungeness Recreation Area and the Spit, tides permitting.
This event will take place whether or not I can attend.
Please check the weather before you head out. Stormy weather will cancel this event.
We will park in the dirt lot just past the entry gates. We will walk along the bluff trail, with fabulous views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. We will walk down to the Spit, so bring your National Park pass to show the volunteers at the top of the trail (between May and October when the trail to the beach is monitored). One pass will admit 4 walkers. The walk to the Spit is about .5 miles on a paved walkway and includes one short, steep hill to the beach. Depending on the tides and weather, we may walk the beach for a bit before returning back up the hill. We will then take the dirt trail on the east side of the Recreation Area and head back to our cars.
Expect to walk 3.5 to 4 miles with elevation gain/loss around 65 feet.
Leashed dogs are allowed, except on the trail to the Spit. If you bring a dog, you will have to skip the walk down to the beach and take one of the several trails through the park.
Bathrooms are available.
No parking pass required.
Because there are multiple trails to choose from, we may mix it up and explore the other routes in the park.
