Loop Wash is an alternate side trip to the more famous Fish Creek. No pun intended, but it "loops" around a portion of Fish Creek, making it a perfect alternative when going in or out of Fish Creek. The entire area that makes up this system of trails was once a shallow sea five million years ago. If you take the time and look closely, you will find Coquina shell beds in the mud ledges that line the trail.
