Cape Disappointment State Park

WTA just completed a great week improving this interesting trail that connects the North Head lighthouse with the main campground. This is the 3rd year we have had Volunteer Vacations at Cape Disappointment. This lovely trail takes users through a Coastal Forest, with views out to waves crashing on the beach. There is an Osprey nest perched on a tree top not even a ½ mile from the trailhead, You can find madrone, spruce, hemlock and Douglas fir trees, salal, rhododendrons and a fine assortment of ferns.

The crew has been working on reducing the grade in places, creating safe creek crossings, building puncheon through chronic wet spots and laying gravel down to improve tractions. WTA has 2 more Volunteer Vacations planned this year, as well as a few day trips also.

Take the time to drive down to the Cape (it’s only 3 ½ hours from Seattle) and check out this challenging trail, and see what our crews have been up to.
