Puget Sound and Islands > Whidbey Island

What a difference a day makes! If you saw the snowy pictures from March 22, you'd be amazed. We saw bits of snow here and there, but today had temps in the 50's with a very light breeze, and lots of sun! My 11 year old son and I did the lollipop loop. No issues on the trail along the bluff. The views were wonderful. We took the switchbacks down the bluff, at the north end of the spit. The trail info says to cut down (and through the switchbacks), but we kept going, and then did the three switchbacks. Less steep, and I'm sure better for all concerned. We took the trail along the west side of Peregos Lake. This is easy to follow, although it's underwater in a few spots. I prefer it to walking the beach the entire way. No other items of note...the trail is very clear and well maintained.
