Hiked the Coupville coast to coast trail that includes Ebey's landing. Parked at the city park near downtown.

Trail was about 7 miles.

The cliffs and the trails at the Ebey's landing were amazing.

Loved the old ferry house.

An amazing day.

Nice and pretty, excellent weather and views.

Well, this hike didn't go as planned. Note to self and anyone planning this hike in the winter. Check the tide tables! We didn't and we got there and there was no beach, the water was up to the driftwood. We opted to do the Bluff part and skip the beach. That's my favorite part of the hike anyway, but it was cold and the wind was blowing in the trees. Wind in trees makes me nervous! We hiked the bluff then turned around when we hit the switchback. We were cold and wanted coffee. Next time I do this classic, I'll wait for better weather. Once we had our coffee, we walked thru the Price Sculpture Forest, a 10 minute walk, check it out next time you're on Whidbey 

We arrived at the Ebey Prairie parking area around 1:30 pm on a gorgeous Sunday and were lucky to find parking in the small lot across from the cemetery. Cars lined the road for 1/4 mile. From the bluff, we could see the lower parking area: full lot, traffic jam, and cars lining the road on both sides!

Note to self: avoid this hike on the weekends, even in the middle of January!

This hike never gets old. It is simply gorgeous. No wind today so we took a long break on the bluff rather then walk the entire loop to down along the beach. The light from the setting sun was so pretty but the sun is directly in your eyes looking out to the water the entire time. Once we hit the shade of the return trail through the prairie, the temperature dropped fast! We'll come back another time to explore the prairie trails. Returned to the car around 4:30 pm.

The outhouse at the prairie parking lot was open with just a bit of TP left. We decided to take the ferry back, along with everyone else. The line started 0.7 miles from the toll booth but we only had to wait one hour before getting on a boat. We watched four cars try to enter the ferry line from Columbia Beach Drive and every one was sent to the back of the line.

Did a Whidbey walkabout starting out with breakfast in downtown Langley, visiting the goats at the chocolate flower farm and then wandering the Price Sculpture Forest. The quick trails at the forest are fun for the kids to explore and the art is beautiful. We also drove to Ebey’s landing beach and walked on the beach it was a little windy for the kids to stay too long or attempt the full Ebey’s landing trail but we will be back to do the whole trail again soon. We love winter on Whidbey. If anyone finds a key fob to a Toyota Highlander my daughter knocked it off the key ring and we don’t know where it was lost. Thanks!
