After climbing Ellinor on Saturday, we headed up to Dungeness NWR. The campground at the Dungeness Recreation Area has to be the nicest luxury car camping site I've ever seen. Views of the Straight of Juan de Fuca, tons of eagles and shorebirds, including two puffins. We also saw several seals on the hike out to the light house.
The trail along the bluff and down to the water is actually more pleasant than walking along the spit itself, since it's not really fun to walk on loose sand and the wind is incredible down there. But, you will see more seals and birds on the spit than up on the bluffs.
We took our 13 month old, and he loved it... a very relaxing place to spend the day.
