Day Hike - Upper Dungeness River
OK, we are going 13 miles round trip, and 2500 feet of elevation gain minimum. We will depart the river about 3.2 miles in. Then the slow ascent starts. This activity is STRENUOUS. You want to see the views, it costs calorie burn. Bring a serious lunch or we can pick one up at the Longhouse in Sequim Bay. The driver is doing 124 miles, so remember to help with vehicle expenses.
