Meet at 10:30 AM at the Dupont City hall parking lot, reached by taking Exit 118 from I-5, turning right onto Center Drive (signed for Dupont). After 1.2 miles, turn left onto Civic Drive. Take the first right into the City Hall Parking lot and meet in the far right corner.
Our trail departs from the corner of the DuPont City Hall parking lot, enters the Sequalitchew Canyon, passes through a pedestrian tunnel and ends at Puget Sound. Enroute we will take a side trail onto the historic DuPont bluff to take in the views, before dropping down to the beach for our lunch stop. Restrooms are available at the City Hall, but not elsewhere on the hike.
