Here we are, back in Long Beach, WA. Home to Washington's Annual Kite Festival (in non-Covid times). It is still a great place to geek out and fly a kite.
Or enjoy other people flying kites.
I REALLY want a kite.
Dune grass is so beautiful, and it plays an important role in preventing dune erosion, which we love.
We returned to Long Beach to ride Discovery Trail, a 8.5 mile hiking and biking trail named after the Discovery Corps whose journey, over two centuries ago, ended on the Long Beach Peninsula.
I am so loving this trail!
It hugs the coast, dunes, wetlands and forest.
What more could you want?
Plus there are eagles!
Discovery Trail will eventually take you to North Head Lighthouse (where we hiked to the other week, but coming from the south).
Riding bikes is the best.
I didn't realize until we saw our second bald eagle (or maybe the first one twice) that these poles are eagle perches.
He looked pretty content.
This bike ride is one of my favorites, right up there with the Scenic Highway through the Columbia Gorge.
We are back at the boardwalk, where we stumbled upon this trail.
Lucky us.
Heads up!
Head down!
Oh man, I love those videos and the one of Eric ducking. So dang cool. I love your biking adventures. You were so smart to bring those. The sights you are seeing are richer because of it.
ReplyDeleteWe got our first Eagle sighting the other day and an osprey just swooped pass our dinette window. Nature is amazing.
