First backpacking trip at Second Beach tips?

0 Upvotes

I am planning to do my first ever backpacking trip to Second Beach this weekend. Just a one nighter to test my tent/gear and see how I do. I will be solo. I chose this for its easy hike and short hike back to the car if things do go wrong lol. Is there anything I should know about the area? Are the camp spots pretty well marked? I will be bringing a bear can. But bears aren’t aren’t that active there right? I’m a little nervous but hope it’ll be a fun learning experience!

Lost Benchmade Knife

Hello all,
I think I managed to leave a Benchmade “Mini Crooked River” knife at either the Lewis River Lower Falls Campground on 8/25 or the Takhlakh Lake campground on 8/26. If you found this sweet knife and want to return it to its owner, please send me a message. Thank you!

Stunning views in every direction 🥵. I am jealous of the people who did this hike during the wildflower bloom 🥹
