Discovery Trail

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Unknown	Miles One-way

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

The Discovery Trail links Long Beach, Seaview and Ilwaco. The trail follows the route taken in 1805 by William Clark through the forest and sand dunes that skirt the Pacific Ocean. Markers have been placed along the trail.

Forests can be thick, but there are ways to get help if you’re lost. Keep a whistle and a metal mirror handy. Also, wear bright colors so rescuers can spot you easily.
