Climbing up the bluff with views of Admiralty Inlet and the Olympics
With the weather so spectucular, we decided to make Ebey’s Landing our hiking destination. What a wonderful choice that turned out to be. No ferry lines, stunning views of Admiralty Inlet, Vancouver Isand, the Olympics, the Cascades & gorgeous pastoral views of Ebey’s Valley. Birding was a bonus, spotting Eagles, a Red Tail Hawk cruising the bluff, a Hermit Thrush and a Ruby Crowned Kinglet. The hike itself was crowned by a glowing red sunset on the seemingly close Mt.Baker.
