Fort Ebey and Fort Casey are must visits for anyone in western Washington.
Incredible views on the bluffs. The trails are marked through the forested areas but can be tough to remember all the different names. Some kind of map is needed to keep them straight. Today I ran from Fort Ebey to Ebeys Landing to Fort Casey. This was an incredible beach run, it’s roughly 7 miles from end to end. I did it pretty much at high tide. Still plenty of room on the beach to run, I don’t think today’s high tide (February 18 2022) was all that high though. It’s a typical PNW beach as far as rocks and sand go, lots of rocks so some cushioning in your shoes is nice. Most of the time I was able to find firm enough sand to run on. It is a bit more difficult to run if you’ve never run on a beach before, very different from pavement or hard packed dirt. Uses more muscles and energy to keep moving. Pretty much halfway in between, take the bluff trail that goes up and over Perego’s Lake. The views are incredible and it’s a nice little break from beach travel.
Overall 10/10 would recommended this. Luckily I had my girlfriend to pick me up on other side so I was able to do this one way.
