Dungeness Spit

The tides were good for hiking the Dungeness Spit out to the Lighthouse today, an 11 mile round trip hike. We saw some deer as we were hiking down to the spit.

The lighthouse is five miles down the spit.

We saw a seal swimming a short ways off shore,

 a juvenile bald eagle taking off,














and lots of shore birds.

Where the Dungeness Spit bends towards the southeast, we could see the lighthouse in the distance.

 Looking back towards where we started, Olympic Mountains in the distance.

 As we neared the south end of the spit on our hike back, we could see the Olympic Mountains peeking through the clouds.
