Cape Disappointment State Park

We drove down to the Long Beach peninsula for Thanksgiving and after our meal, we needed a walk. Friday morning we drove to Beards Hollow and walked out to the beach to look at the southern end of the 'long' beach. A very powerful place of rocks and currents and sea birds and crashing waves. An incoming tide prevented us from getting very far. We went back to the trailhead and then climbed the 1.4 mile trail up to the North Head lighthouse. We arrived just in time for a break from the rain and a good view of the park headland below. We walked past the lighthouse and returned on the Keepers trail to the Beards Hollow trail. We had to watch our step to avoid stepping on the salamanders on the trail...also saw frogs and deer in the pristine coastal sitka spruce forest.
