1111. The Third Beach Hike
To understand the name of this hike, you have to know something about the area. There is a trio of beaches near the town of La Push. They are actually named the First, Second, and Third Beach. (First Beach is the northernmost of these beaches and Third Beach is the most remote.)
The Third Beach Hike is an easy, three-mile hike with an ascent of 400 feet. Allow up to two hours for this one. The trail takes you through a verdant forest. It is generally an easy, flat trail but take a talkative hiking buddy as some say hiking through all these trees can be a little monotonous. Ah, but once you hit the beach, the view is quite nice!
