10 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •

Skipped the very last conference session of the day, to go explore Point Defiance Park. What a gem! There's really something for everyone out here. Zoo, aquarium, historic trading fort, logging museum, rhododendron garden, rose garden, northwest natives garden, off-leash dog park, a beach, vistas over Puget Sound, and of course an extensive network of incredibly nice trails. I managed to get a pretty good overview of the entire place, as I criss-crossed and looped the peninsula. I think I'd be out here weekly, at least, if I lived anywhere nearby.
