Discovery Park Loop Trail — Saturday, Jul. 1, 2023

An erratic, if you don’t happen to know, is a rock which is moved from one place to another by glaciers. During previous ice ages rocks, both large and small have been plucked from far away and sprinkled over the Puget Sound by the retreating glaciers.

Today with the tide low, we visited several erratics along Magnolia Bluff and Discovery Park. The intertidal walking is always fun. Crabs, a small eel, and a large bed of geoducks (sorry, no harvesting here).

Finding the erratics took a little bit of work, but that is the fun of it right? Climbing them is very possible though with my heel in recovery I’ll leave that for another day.
