Point Defiance

6/29 - Saturday Morning Run.
 

What better place to run than outdoors under the sun? There are so many parks in this wonderful state - all you have to do is get up, get out and go. On this day, I had the pleasure of discovering Point Defiance Park, near Puget Sound. I later found out that this park is home to the Taste of Tacoma, which meant I would certainly return. 

Point Defiance Park is larger than Wapato Park. It has: a zoo, aquarium, a Rose Garden, beaches, trails, a boardwalk, a ferry dock and forest. I only visited a beach, saw the forest and ran the trails. 

All of this by 8am. 

Green Parking Lot. 

Stretching before the run.

View from Point Defiance Beach.

I was distracted by the forest on my left and the beach on my right.

Breathtaking.
