Trip
Day Hike - Carkeek Park
Pacing hike. This 3.5/4-mile loop trail near Seattle, Washington. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 h 35 min to complete. We may take longer to look at views and walk the beach! This is a very popular area for birding, hiking, and trail running, so we'll likely encounter other people while exploring. We may take a little side trip to look for the Beaver dam. We can plan on checking it out! if the group agrees.
