As I am nursing an injury, it will be some mellow hikes for December and Ebey's Landing always fits the bill. We took the long way around through Deception Pass, arriving at the lower parking lot just before 11am, it was full with a few cars lining the road. Based on a previous trip report, we timed it had low tide so we could do the loop. We were able to squeeze in between two a short distance from the parking lot. A reminder, you still need a Discover Pass on the road.
It took us about 1.5 hours to wander the loop up onto the bluff, along its length, down to the beach and back. The sun showered down through greyish clouds and wind was absent. Mt Baker was obscured to the east passing the field but we could see the ferry gliding on the horizon to Port Townsend.
It seemed like we had the bluff mostly to ourselves, the beach was busy with birders and dogs. Afterwards we stopped off at the Bayside Farmer's Holiday Market in Langley to look for holiday gifts and pick up some of my new favorite cider from Misfit Island Cider (think English Dry style).
