This is a wonderful beginner backpack, with forest hikes on boardwalks, two beach campsites with beautiful views, ocean wildlife, and time to relax and gain confidence.  First night camp at Cape Alava and second night at Sand Point.  A 3 mile ocean beach hike provides experience for future longer beach hikes along the spectacular Washington or BC beaches.  Casual instruction in all aspects of backpacking will be provided along the route as part of the graduation requirements for Olympia Backpacking Course.
