This is a excellant hike for young backpackers. It is 9 mile loop with min. elevation gain. It starts with 3 miles through the rain forest to the beach to the first option for camp sites. Than it continues on the beach for 3 miles to the second option for campsites. The finally stretch is 3 miles through the rainforest back to your starting point. The stretches through the rainforest are almost all on boardwalks (The boardwalks makes this a year round option for hiking). The two camp grounds reguire reservations because they are very popular (Cape Alava and Sand Point). Racoons are a problem, so it is required that you bring a 5 gal bucket with a tight fitting lid for your food. Bear wires are avaiable to hang the buckets. The deer have become use to human and will walk right into your campsite and hang out. There are to points on the beach that you have to pass at low or med tide. Tide chart are available at the ranger station. Pictograph can be found at wedding rocks on the beach.
