When will hikers again gain access to Second Beach?
Hiker and outdoor writer Craig Romano writes on his blog
about the the closure of the trailhead to Olympic National Park's
Second Beach by the Quileute tribe. The closure stems from a land
dispute between the National Park Service and the tribe over
boundaries and the tribe's attempts to secure land that's on higher
ground out of a potential tsunami zone. It's a tricky issue involving
native rights, wilderness and access. One hopes the dispute can be
resolved quickly so hikers can again access this fantastic wilderness
beach.
