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.

Notes:	It is quite a long drive up to the trailhead on logging roads. Best to carpool to limit number of vehicles. Swimming opportunity at the end at Darkwater Lake.
