Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge — Tuesday, Apr. 29, 2025

We chose this location to ‘hike’, although it’s more of a scenic walk, because our legs were sore from hiking previous days. We arrived around 7AM and there were few cars in the parking lot. Near the bathrooms/welcome center there is a stand with envelopes where you can retrieve your pass for the day. (Be sure to have exact change of $3 or you will donate however big of a bill that you have unless the welcome center is open then maybe you can get change.) We saw ducks, geese, bunnies, deer, squirrels and lots of different birds. Such a stunning place to walk and see nature. Most of the trail is a board walk with occasional gravel sections. We left about 9 AM and the parking lot was almost full.
