At the trailhead. Note the rain gear. Same as last year's 7 Lakes Basin hike.
A view of the beach while walking the half mile stretch from the trailhead along the Hoh River to the beach.

Rob and Nick along the Hoh.
Our group, nearing the beach.

Lots of different kinds of birds. Huge brown pelicans too.
On the beach heading north. The rain had stopped at this point and things were looking good weather-wise.
