Discovery Park Beach and Highlands Loop — Sunday, Jan. 15, 2017

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

We parked at south parking lot and got lucky to get a spot as someone was leaving. Lots of people had to park on the road outside the park. We walked out to the sand area plain on top of the bluff that gives a great view south over the sound. We then hiked down the south beach trail, which has some areas of pretty click ice, so watch your step! Along the way there was a large eagle up in a tree that caught the attention of lots of people. We reached the beach while the tide was out. I was able to spot the eagle in the tree and zoom way in on it. One thing we noticed was that there were lots of dogs on the beach. Dogs are not allowed on any Seattle beach! We walked along the water north to the north beach trail (also icy in spots) and hiked back up to the the top of the hill and followed the main loop trail back to the sand area plain and back to the south lot.
