Puget Sound and Islands > Whidbey Island

This was another hike I've never been on recommended by fellow hikers. We parked near the cemetery and hiked down to the road, following it to the end of the road and up a little hill where we me a couple of retired teachers who gave us a few tips. The best of which is to hike along the trail on the North bluff and then take the trail to the beach for the return loop. At the start we paused on the entrance to the North bluff. We could see from Mt. Baker to Mt. Rainier and everything in between! Turning our heads to the right we could see the prairie unfolding below and a little more to the right - the Olympics. Breathtaking summer views on a warm April day. Tiny little wildflowers were blooming and just a few occasional small swarms of gnats. I really enjoyed the tidal pools from up on the bluff. I will certainly do this one again this summer.
