Cape Alava/Sandpoint loop - beach section
Headed to the coast to enjoy a 3 day weekend and to hike the ""loop"" in a clockwise direction this time. We managed to find a day with low tide about 1pm so it allowed us to have a leisurely breakfast and head out. Running shoes worked great on the boardwalks but were not quite as good on the beach cobbles. The boardwalk changes texture many times. Many different generations of repairs and slightly different materials. Wow, what an amazing bit of trail work! (It's the Washington version of the pyramids!) Some blowdowns on the beach but half the fun of this hike is negotiating the obstacle course and finding interesting stuff. Isn't it? Foggy weather makes for pleasant hiking and an eerie feel.
