| Description |
Manzanita Bluff is an amazing viewpoint toward the north end of Discovery Passage. It’s quite a long drive on logging roads and about 250m uphill without a trail, but the view is worth it. The best route is through relatively open forest with some mature Douglas fir. We will make the side trip to Darkwater Lake after the hike and swimming is an option. About 5.6 km; 4¾ hours. |
| Meeting Place |
Heriot Bay store parking lot. We will drive out in a group. All- or four-wheel drive vehicles with some clearance are recommended for the drive. |
