Frye Cove Loop Trail
About This Trail
This trail loops around Frye Cove County Park. It meanders through the forest and has beautiful views of Eld Inlet and sometimes Mt. Rainier. It is a great trail for children, with very little elevation and just a few spots with roots or other tripping hazards. A short side trail leads down to the beach where you can add on play time and tide pool exploration.
