Upon Further Review: The Beach Hike

We look back at an Olympic park stunt – one that proved to be key in the region’s environmental movement – and how a film of that event has surfaced to help us relook at it. The hike in 1958 was held to protest the proposed construction of a highway on the northern Olympic Peninsula coast. The “protest” hike highlighted the beauty of the coast’s pristine nature.
