On a grey December day with fog on the hillsides, I opted to hike the long sandy beaches of Mission Flats. I started near the landfill and hiked east along the shores of the river.
Remnants of an old buried vehicle poked above the sand on a view to the east.
I looped back around the two islands and headed west to the start. Eagles soared overhead, seagulls cried, and crows cawed as I walked along the beaches. A few images from the hike are shared here. Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption.
There are several winter beaches hikes each year…
