With circumstances bringing us to West Seattle such a nice day couldn't go to waste. A quick decision brought us to Camp Long. We secured a map at the Environmental Learning Center and were on our way.
First stop was Pollywog Pond where we stepped across rocks to the little island and I immediately slipped on the mud and went down with a thud. It provided a good chuckle and off we went. Next we checked out the Stone Compass where we practiced the names of the directions.
From there we proceeded along the service road to the Ridge Trail and took that left and down to the Middle Loop Trail junction. We went right from there to the turnoff to Schurman Rock where we practiced our rock climbing skills. Then we looped back to the other end of the park and out.
Spring is starting to show itself and we saw many Yellow Hummingbirds. This is definitely an 'if you're in the neighborhood' destination. We did see flyers about environmental education programs this Summer for kids.
