North Head Trail - Cape Disappointment, Ilwaco, WA - (March 2019)
Channel: Hikes from Home

As the weather starts to warm up in the PNW, we adventured up to Washington to visit another lighthouse at Cape Disappointment State Park. We started the North Head Trail from the McKenzie Head which offered a moderate 1.5-mile hike through the forest with some elevation gain. Unfortunately, the North Head Lighthouse was undergoing some renovations, but the views of the cliffs and oceans were great.

As an added bonus, we also took the quick 0.25 mile trail up to Battery 247. While this hike was short, it is nearly all uphill. It's worth taking a break about halfway up to gaze at the lagoon and get a very slight glimpse of the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse
