Ebey's Landing — Thursday, Apr. 10, 2014

Puget Sound and Islands > Whidbey Island
Looking back at the parking lot (on the beach) from the high bluff.
Ebey's Landing is an incredible hike on a sunny day! We took Ebey road off of highway 20 all the way to the coast where there is ample parking and a regular concrete outhouse. The trail climbs some wooden stairs to the top of the bluff and skirts a farm field before ascending to the high bluffs. There is informative signage in several places. The trail makes a 3.5 mile loop up over the edge of the bluffs and then return along the beach. Along the way is a large lagoon which is frequented by waterfowl. The trail itself is sandy soft on the feet and free of obstructions. However, it is narrow and very exposed along the steep slopes so the height-challenged folks might be hesitant. On the other hand, the wide sweeping views are unparalleled. A stiff breeze delivers heady smell of the sea while the eyes feased on the Sound, Olympics, and islands.

The lagoon.
A stiff breeze makes a windbreaker a good idea.
