Discovery Park is one of my favorite parks in Seattle. There's great beach access, the wonderful West Point Lighthouse, and the fantastic Daybreak Indian Cultural Center. But my favorite part is that it's huge and there are miles of hiking trails!
Make your way to Discovery Park and park your vehicle in the North Parking Lot. There is tons of parking here, so you don't need to worry about finding a spot. If for some reason, the lot is full, you can also park in the lot by the visitor center or in the South Parking lot. Discovery Park is also accessible by bus-Route #33 takes you right into the park and the North Parking Lot.
To the Box:
Follow the paved path on the left side of the grassy area, passing in front of the restrooms. At the wider asphalt road, head to the left. As the hill begins to flatten out, turn right onto the dirt & gravel Loop Trail. Continue uphill on the trail, noting the ginormous multitunked maple. Seriously, take a minute to check it out.
Continue up the Loop Trail and cross an asphalt road. The trail will go downhill to a Y. Stay on the left side as you prepare to cross another section of road. But instead of taking the Loop Trail, turn onto the Hidden Valley Trail which passes next to a cedar. If you pass between to tall, bushy guardian junipers, you are on the correct trail. Descend down 10 wide spaced wooden stairs and into the forest. At the next Y go straight, continuing on Hidden Valley Trail and avoiding the North Beach Trail.
Soon you'll hear the sound of the ocean. Go down the long set of stairs. It'll seem never ending, but the stairs will eventually stop at a bridge that crosses a small creek. Continue on the trail and keep your eyes peeled for a tree marked KM + KW that bows out over the trail a bit. Stop here. As you turn to the right, you'll see a multi-trunked tree. The letterbox is at the base, on the side furthest away from the trail well hidden under leaves, bark, and a rock.
Take time to enjoy the park.
Hike Length: 1.5 miles
