Annual Beach Barefoot Hike
-
Start date: 07/19/2025

Start time: 8:00 AM
Description:
Join me on my Annual Obsidians barefoot hike. As several times before, we will start at Holman Vista day use area.
We will first cross 20-30” deep Sutton Creek (or, if you prefer to stay dry, you can walk across the huge log) and then hike on the beach north, all to the 10” deep Berry Creek and continue further to the Darko’s Hidden Cove. After a snack break near a beautiful cove, we will return almost the same way. High tide (4.0 ft.) at 9:00AM, Low (2.1 ft.) at 2.05PM.
✯ We are designed to walk barefoot but evolved to shoe wearing creatures. Barefoot walking is candid way to feel the earth under your feet. There are many health benefits and some risks associated with going barefoot. Please use common sense. Carry sandals or (and) thick socks and use in case you are unable to handle sand under your feet.
Drivers need Northwest Forest Pass or Senior Pass.
Mileage suggested donation to the driver is $13.75
Let’s feel the sand!
Please wear sandals for the first 100 yards, which are thorny. Then we can enjoy barefoot on the smooth sand.
Hydration and snack. After the hike, some of us will stop in Florence for lunch. Please join us.
