11/15 - Dungeness Dike in the Mist

We took a misty day hike at the Dungeness Spit. It was a familiar trail but the mist made it mysterious. The mountains and sky were hidden. We could be anywhere.

11/14 - Dungeness Spit By Way of the Primitive Trail

There are two ways to get from the parking lot down to the Dungeness Spit. There's the regular trail which is nicely paved and relatively straight. It gets one right there. There's also the Primitive Trail which meanders through the forest before joining the regular trail at the overlook. We usually take the Primitive Trail which is much more atmospheric.

In the late fall and winter, the tides for hiking the Spit are often so hide that there is no beach to walk on. Heading out means clambering over and around driftwood and taking advantage of what soft sand is available. This visit was much nicer. The tide wasn't low, but there was a fair bit of walkable beach with sand firm enough for easy walking and not all that many strips of rocks and pebbles. We only made it out to the half mile stake, but it was a treat given the time of year.
