Enchanting Forest to Glacial Mountain View Beach - Our hike was guided by Dylan, who is a local and has good knowledge and experience about traversing the trails and survival skills including bears. The trail is a beautiful one and well forested and ends up in a gorgeous beach by the Bay overlooking tall Glacial mountains. It is fairly easy with a bit of elevation gain and descent to the beach and we could do it even though we are not experienced hikers. We had a great time with Dylan as he explained the flora and told us about his experience with fauna! Would love to do more hikes with him in the future!
