This trip and itinerary are dependent on the leader being able to acquire the needed permits.  All participants share in the permit costs. An America the Beautiful or National Park Pass is required for each vehicle.  Bear cans are required, and can be borrowed from the Park Service.

This trip is lower mileage and elevation, but has other challenges.  On day two we'll coordinate our hiking hours with the tides, and navigate rocks and boulders as we hike along the beach (a 1 mph pace is typical).  Boardwalks and the trail can be slick and muddy.  But there's nothing like the ocean, and it'll be a great trip.

A "Hello Hiker" email with more detailed trip information will be emailed to participants about a week before the trip.

Meet at the Ozette Ranger Station parking lot with boots on and packs ready to go at noon.
