This is a very short section of the Olympic Discovery Trail. The full trail begins in Port Townsend and ends about 130 miles to the west on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. This is a beachside route with either streetside, sand, or rock/dirt paths to follow. Some of the trail shares the road with vehicles, so using reflective materials, lights, or flagging is recommended for safety.
