10. Hike Rialto Beach to Hole-in-the-Wall

The hike to Hole-in-the-Wall is another of the best hikes in this park. It is rated as an easy hike with a total distance of 3.5 miles. The ascent is minimal and it will take between 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

You will actually be hiking on the beach and the views are said to be “amazing.” Just drive to Rialto Beach and park in the parking area there, right alongside the beach. Hit the beach and head north. Enjoy the view of the well-known sea stacks that sit on the rugged coastline there.

 

11. The Third Beach Hike

To understand the name of this hike, you have to know something about the area. There is a trio of beaches near the town of La Push. They are actually named the First, Second, and Third Beach. (First Beach is the northernmost of these beaches and Third Beach is the most remote.)

The Third Beach Hike is an easy, three-mile hike with an ascent of 400 feet. Allow up to two hours for this one. The trail takes you through a verdant forest. It is generally an easy, flat trail but take a talkative hiking buddy as some say hiking through all these trees can be a little monotonous. Ah, but once you hit the beach, the view is quite nice!
