Fort to Sea Trail



Yesterday I hiked the Fort to Sea Trail, from Lewis and Clark's winter camp to the Oregon coast. An amazing forested 6 mile hike in the Lewis and Clark National Historic Park.

A Lewis and Clark historian accompanied us, as well as the Park Superintendent and other Park Service leads, which provided an enhanced tour of the history and ecology along the way.
