Meadowdale Beach

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Moderate	2.5 Miles Round-trip	6,286 est.	400

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 view from the beach looking across the Puget Sound can be most spectacular. The Olympic Mountains rise prominently on the west side of Puget Sound.
