09/04/26 - Quinninup Falls - 1

The Qunninup Falls hike was a high point of our trip. We started at Moses Rock and headed north under sunny skies. It's a great coastal trail and very well maintained. It passes through a highland bog on a well constructed boardwalk and then descends sandy dunes to the beach where the Quinninup River joins the sea.

On our way out we had noticed a snake lying on the trail. We stepped around it cautiously. On the way back, the snake was gone. This was no surprise. Then, it started to rain. There was a light rain for most of our walk back to Moses Rock. We looked it up later. This type of snake is noted for lying out in the sun to warm up starting about a half hour before rain starts.

The trail signs say the trail is class 3 which is usually a reach for us, but we found it easy going, maybe class 2. Perhaps, the sand dune descent and ascent near the river are tougher on hot summer days.
