Frye Cove Field Trip

January 27 @ 9:00 am-12:00 pm

Frye Cove County Park is 86 acres with 2 miles of wooded trails and 1400 feet of saltwater beach along the west side of Eld Inlet.  There is a magnificent view of Mt. Rainier.  The walk will be leisurely along the well-maintained hiking trails that are hilly in some spots.  There is one short steep hill (~110 ft) leading to the beach from the parking lot and vice versa.  Benches are located along the trail.  Past Christmas counts have observed all 3 scoters, buffleheads, mergansers, grebes, cormorants, loons, and goldeneyes along with pileated woodpecker, sapsuckers, flickers, creepers, kinglets, and sparrows.

Flush toilet restrooms with running water are located at the picnic area down the hill from the parking area.

Bring:  binoculars, spotting scope, water and snacks.  Dress for the January weather.  Waterproof boots as trails can be muddy.  Hiking poles if needed.

Registration is not required.  There is parking available for up to 30 cars.

Leader is Lin Stern    lindseysarahstern@nullgmail.com
