Kettle Falls Natural Recreation Area Part 1

In my part of the world, as in some others, we have been blanketed in smoke for most of the summer. However, we did have a clear day recently, so Hubby and I headed for the Kettle Falls Natural Recreation Area (sometimes called Old Kettle), a scenic natural area that we are blessed to live very nearby.

I am going to share pictures from our hike for the next three posts, so if you like natural scenery, then enjoy.

Visiting My Daughter-Day 4…Trinidad State Beach

Our daughter loves the beach (and why wouldn’t she…being the wonderful Coast Guard wife that she is), and therefore, our vacation had to include a visit to nearby Trinidad State Beach.

Trinidad State Beach

Trinidad is another great area to visit over and over again. There are a couple of beaches to play on, tide pools to explore, a pier, a good restaurant to eat at (which we did), and trails to hike.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I did not know that my camera settings were askew (that mischievous little demon), so I am again apologizing for the not-so-sharp photos. I hope they are enough to inspire you anyway!

My family chose to hike the trail along the bluffs as well as play on the beach. The foliage is lush along the bluffs!
