You could even run this hike or bring your pet with you. parking is very close from the trail. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets of the PNW.

You have a great sight of MT. Rainer and Des Moines Marine. Along the shore you can look for shells and baby crabs. In the warmer months of the year you can even put your feet in the water and feel the cold salty ocean water. While during the hike you can either take the trail or a sidewalk whatever is easier for you to do. unfortunately this park closes at night.

When you have completed your hike and enjoyed all the amazing views there are many restaurants you can dine at like, Red Robin there is a couple seafood places and a wonderful Chinese restaurant with authentic home style food.
