Quick walk Monday morning along the Ebey’s Landing trails and beach. We parked at the upper lot and made a counter-clockwise loop up along the bluffs then back down on the beach using the trail running along Perego’s Lagoon. Parking at both lots was pretty busy even early. The pit toilets at both lots were open and functional, though the upper lot ones are much nicer. The bluff and Perego’s Lagoon trails are getting a bit brushy as expected for this time of year with the little side trail on the far north to the view point basically completely grown over with native rose and impassible. One other somewhat humorous trail note - the “caution erosion” sign at the beginning of the switchbacks down to the beach has fallen over due to erosion.
A fair bit of wildlife out this morning including several heron, a couple big raven, lots of shore birds, a couple seal out in the water, and several hawk (couldn’t tell what kind, Coopers maybe…) But the big draw remains the views - across the farmland, east to Mt Baker and the Cascades, west to the Olympics, south down the beach to Ft Casey and the Keystone ferry, etc which remain as amazing as ever. A beautiful morning.
