Lol... It doesn't seem that far -- until you start walking towards it. I've never made it myself, but I've definitely made the attempt.

One recommendation I have is to keep your shoes on. There was a lot of sand, and it wasn’t that cold, so i did it in bare feet. Problem was that it was cold enough to not feel the bruising on my feet from rocks until later.

It is on my list.

It's really grate!

Sorry. I am, in fact, a dad....

I'm jealous on the 90-minute drive for you. It's 3.5 hours for me.

I stay at Moran when I go to Doe Bay resort for the hot tubs. The ferry ride out there is great

YESSS it's worth it!

tbh I read Vancouver, not Victoria. Sorry.

Sun lakes is one of our go to summer camping spots. Its only about 1 1/2 hours from my house. Been going there since i was knee high. That reminds me of another awesome place for camping and cliff jumping. Moran State Park/ Midway campground on Orcas Island. Its Phenomenal you camp right on Cascade lake witch is a no motor lake. Kayak/paddleboard around to the various cliffs to jump off. You can also hike to the top of nearby Mt. Constitution and get a full 360 view of the islands. Truly no place like it.

Hurricane Ridge on the Oly Pen is magnificent!

Sorry, Victoria to Port Angeles. Got the wrong port.

During the late evening, just as the sun is almost gone, standing at the Dry Valleys Visitor Center, as the frogs and birds hum there evening songs.. I could stand on the edge of that dry falls all night.

I second Sun Lakes, there’s something about that coulee country. Driving from there to Grand Coulee at sunset is spectacular!

Yes, about 3 years ago. At that time we went up in the lighthouse, I don't know about the current rules.

It's a long walk. I didn't realize it was 5 miles, but not surprised. It's slow going in the dry sand.

Thank you for the information! I’m super curious. I can’t wait to see it! I plan to do this when I get back at the end of March!

Yes, in 2013. There was a guest lighthouse keeper there for a week at a time. There was a small museum inside and perhaps a gift shop. I really enjoyed it, but who knows how much has changed in these 10 years. Shocking to me in this moment that ten years have passed.

It's an air shaft for one of the many mines

No, it’s not. I’ve made bowls and cups. What’s expensive is the blast furnaces, O2, and power bills. You’re full of shit.

Dungeness Spit in Sequim

Nice! I made it four miles but had to turn around because you have to be out by sunset if you aren’t camping. They lock the gate. I plan to do it this spring! Can you go in the lighthouse?

Where is this?

What is this vault for ? Is it part of a dam or culvert ?

Yes. When I was a kid.

At$40k if you don’t have someone to share rent etc. it will be difficult.

It's fascinating how people have their own little retreat in the world where we feel the most comfortable. I've been eyeing Eastern WA more and more lately(just sucks winter makes travel hard). I think my close second would be Sun Lakes State Park, but that's cause I believe there's no better place for cliff jumping in the state. I've never had a bad experience there (expect for when I was drinking), and people are always so friendly.

Coles Corner is close to some great access to Lake Wenatchee, I must say. I have fond memories of climbing some of the mountains in the area. Some with views of Glacier Peak are unforgettable. You're very lucky to be able to have a spot over there.
