Seattle Pathfinders Backpacking Trip - Shi Shi Beach

Join us on this magical and playful backpacking destination. We will hike 4 flat miles (two on the beach!) to the sea stacks, camp for 2 nights and spend the last day visiting the amazing Makah cultural center which houses over 50 000 pre contact artifacts from the 500 year-old Ozette Archaeological Site, a village buried by a mudslide.
