Elk River Estuary Enhancement Project

A Thanksgiving day early morning hike on a new recently opened trail in Eureka, CA.

A Eureka Waterfront Trail one mile extension project that begins at the south end of the Kikshari' Trail. We started at the Herrick Avenue Park & Ride (the official trailhead for this section), and hiked down to the end and back. We then hiked a mile or so up the Hikshari' trail and then back to the truck (no pictures of that section).

* Ma-Le'l Dunes North Hike

 At the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge near Arcata, CA.

We did a Hout Trail/Kimuk Trail loop out to the ocean. Rather short...about two miles, but it was a nice stroll down the breach a ways. There are a lot of Sand Dollars washed ashore in this area.
