Ebey's Landing — Saturday, Jul. 13, 2024

My wife and I arrived at the parking lot near the Ebey's Landing National Historic Reserve Visitor Center at 8:38am. Parking spots were still available. We followed the recommended hike from the Hiking Guide entry and started on the Ebey’s Prairie Trail. Lots of wildflowers in bloom, especially dandelions.

There were a lot of bugs around the T-junction of Bluff Trail and Ebey’s Prairie Trail. Hiked along Bluff trail heading north and the bugs lightened up further in. We reached the end of the bluff and made our way down the switchbacks to the beach. The trail can be pretty narrow so you may need to hike single-file if you’re part of a group.

We hiked along the beach towards the Ebey’s Landing parking lot. There were lots of seaweed that had washed up on the rocky shore. Finally, we reached the parking and looped our way back on Bluff trail and then the Prarie Trail. We came back to the Visitor Center parking lot around noon and almost all spots were taken.
