Join us on this beautiful leisurely paced, easy walk along the Semiahmoo Spit loop trail (3 miles round trip, <50 feet elevation gain). We will start at Semiahmoo Park (near the Totem Pole), and follow a mostly paved trail to the end of the spit and back. Clear days have amazing views of Olympics and Northern Cascades, including Mt Baker. The Semiahmoo Park trail parallels Semiahmoo Parkway, from the parking lot until we reach the marina at the end of the Spit. With Semiahmoo Bay on one side of the Spit and Drayton Harbor on the other, we'll have beautiful views of the shoreline. Restrooms (gender-specific, multi-stall) are located near the parking lot. Dogs on leash are welcome.

For folks who are interested in organizing a carpool, we will meet at the Sunset Square Safeway parking lot (at Panera Bread entrance) at 12:15pm. Please note, carpooling is available for participants to arrange at their own risk, as the leader is not responsible for carpooling arrangements.
