The Fort to Sea Trail is a beautiful 6.5 mile trail starting at Fort Clatsop to the Pacific Ocean. The weather was absolutely perfect today for a hike at 70 degrees and a cool breeze. The trail includes four different ecosystems (1) thick forest, (2) wetlands, (3) meadow/pasture, and (4) ocean. We started out at 11 a.m. this morning with Ranger Susan and a large group of fellow hikers. We decided to head out ahead of the group. The following pictures tell the story better than I can:

(6) The Sea!
