Dungeness Spit

Drove out to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge to meet up and hike with a friend who was visiting the area. This is an 11 mile round trip beach hike that is best done during low tide. Today, that meant hiking in the afternoon. It was lightly raining and very windy when we started.
Looking down the 5 mile spit towards the lighthouse at the far end.
The wind soon blew the storm away, and looking back towards the west, we could see some of the Olympic Mountains emerging from the clouds.
With good conversation, we were soon nearing the Dungeness Lighthouse.

On the hike back, we were able to see more Olympic peaks to the south
