Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge — Wednesday, May. 20, 2015

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

A flat boardwalk trail, great for families. Very quiet and not heavily trafficked during the week. There is a songbird section of the refuge that is incredible if you go at the right time. I went in the morning on a Wed and there were so many birds singing. You will also see a great mix of wildlife because it is where salt water meets fresh water - very unique. There is a great viewing area of a heavily used nesting pond near two very picturesque old barns in one location, and it's just beautiful. If you do the full loop I think it is about 5 miles, but you can make shorter hike combinations as well because there are 3 loops that intersect.
