"See a Seal" - 3/15/11 (Part 2) - Rome Point - North Kingston, RI

Thing 1

Thing 2

- Trailhead: Boston Neck Road
- Hikers: Cara and Joshua, Teri and Steve, Shiloh and Jesse
- Miles: 3-ish
- Weather: Clear
- Temp: 45-50
- Trail Conditions: Real smooth, very little mud/water
- Wildlife: At the furthest end of the point, Harbor Seals can be seen on the rocks about 1/2 mile out.  And oh dear a dead deer.

Notes: As suggested, we planned a hike two hours before low tide for best viewing of the seals.  Note that you should bring binoculars or telescopes to actually "see" the seals. They are a lot further off from shore than I had expected.  Regardless, the park is well worth the visit.  Several miles of double and single track to roam.  I will be taking the bike here to scope out some more trails...could be a great place to ride when conditions are not good elsewhere.
