Trail Description:
We took this trail almost exactly two years ago, and from memory it appeared a little dryer.
There seemed to be fewer flowers, but perhaps we were only looking for new specimens.
The proximity of the ocean usually makes for a temperate hikes, and this year was no exception. It actually seemed warmer than the cool interior. The tide was low and it made inspecting the marsh areas and their unique environments possible. For ocean, dune, bird and plant views, this hike is hard to beat. To make it out to the spit, start early (or be young and full of energy).
