The gorgeous spring weather was irresistible last weekend, though it was also windy. To bypass the winds we headed to a more sheltered trail near the Dungeness River. It was perfect.
The trail is on a raised dike along the edge of the river. As part of a habitat restoration project to improve salmon runs, parts of this dike will eventually be removed to allow the river to flow more naturally. What you see here is a small tributary. When allowed to freely flow rivers are very sinuous and often change course, particularly during high water in the winter. A nearby road is probably also going to be removed.
Lots of happy people and dogs walked on the trail last Saturday. For many of us it was the end of a long siege of cabin fever.
That’s a beautiful looking walk Kay, the trees would be such a good buffer against the wind ✨
Yea! Finally good weather and what a great place to take a walk or ride a bike. I wouldn’t want to be up there walking when they decided to make room for more water to flow, though! You could end up singing, “Cruising down the river…” 🙂
It looks like you had ideal conditions to be out and about. Beautiful shots!
Perfect place for a walk as you listen to the river flow on by. Nice and peaceful.
Have a wonderful weekend, Kay.
Hard to beat all that spring greenery!
