Mostly easy walk with only one section of uphill/downhill to get down to the beach. We were mostly by ourselves until we got to the bluffs, and the beach can also get a bit crowded due to the easy parking. It was a very foggy day which made the views limited, but there's just something so appealing about watching the mist flow through the trees and hearing but not seeing the ferry horns off in the distance. 

Second time doing this one this year. Pleasant as always. Limited distant views due to the haze but still an excellent choice year round.

Quick walk on the Ebey’s Landing trails Saturday morning.  Discover Pass required for the state park property and parking lot, no such requirement currently at the bluff lot.  Both lots were busy even early today.  Nice pit toilets at the bluff lot were open and in great condition.  No specific trail issues though they get a bit brushy this time of year and some of the bluff trails are exposed and on quite a slope for folks that might not enjoy that situation.  Views were spectacular as always though a bit hazy looking west due to the recent forest fire activity.  Flowers are largely spent though there are some pretty yellow gumweed still blooming.  A beautiful, relatively easy walk - really a must stop if you are in the area. 

I took our almost-four-year-old on the Bluff Trail, starting at Ebey’s Landing Road. The mountain views across the way were hazy, but we both thought seeing a lake (lagoon) right next to the ocean was pretty neat! 

Road: paved

Parking lot: both at noon and 4 PM on a hot, sunny Saturday, the lot was full, with 20-30 cars on the road.

Bathroom: clean and stocked, before and after, including hand sanitizer.

Trail condition:

• Almost 100% of the walk is in direct sunlight, with a few small trees providing momentary shade on the bluff. Bring that sunscreen if you burn easily!
• The upper part was all sandy dirt, mostly hard, easy to follow but slippery for kids in some of the steep downhill parts.
• The lower part was simply walking directly on the beach. That took us FOR-EV-ER. She was enjoying it so much that she had to stop every thirty seconds to admire yet another differently-colored-rock and toss it in the water. Forward motion on a beach is not her strong suit.

Views: the section above the lake/lagoon was definitely our favorite!  

Navigation: lots of signs with reminders to stay on the trail, due to dangerous erosion. Side trails made it clear some folks hadn’t, but it wasn’t hard to tell which branch to use.

Ice cream: the trail description wasn’t kidding about the portions being generous at Kapaws Iskreme – a “single” is three scoops! Absolutely delicious, the line moves quickly, and two singles (so, six scoops) were only $15.

All in all, a successful adventure! Hopefully we can make it out that way again sometime.

Got to the cemetery trailhead around 12:30PM. Still quite a few spots to park. Hiked down to the ridge and took the switchbacks down to the beach. Quite. Few people on the trail but most were by the beach parking lot and not out doing the hike. 
Fairly easy hike, and the weather was gorgeous. Make sure to bring sunscreen and water, there’s no shade and it gets hot on the exposed trail. 
Went at a pretty leisurely pace, took about 2 hours. 5.25 miles, 425 feet of elevation gain.
