Coastal Forest Loop Hike

Overview

This little loop hike give visitors a taste of the mossy, old growth magnificence that once shrouded these shores. Most of the big trees are Sitka spruce, but there are also a few large western hemlocks. The trail is rooty and often soggy, redolent of skunk-cabbage in season. You can take a spur out to a vista over Baker Bay as far as the harbor of Ilwaco and also get views back to the Coast Guard station at Cape Disappointment. See if you can pick up a key to the numbered interpretive posts at the park fee booth.
