After hiking Ebey's Landing, I took a couple of fellow hikers to Deception Pass State Park since they had never been there. I was thrilled to show them one of my favorite state parks.
After doing the very short hike to the beach below the Deception Pass bridge, we drove over to Rosario Beach and hiked the short trail at Rosario Head.
Tiny white flowers dotted the grass around the parking lot to the trail. On the approach, I saw one brown rabbit nibbling those flowers.
There's a warning at the start of the trail since it's along a the edge of what is pretty much a giant rock and tripping/falling off is a possibility. I had hiked it many times and was confident of my ability to not get too close to the edge. The women with me were like-wise able.
It was a gorgeous day, so we had a clear view of the land/sea around us. There was also some small croppings of Scotch broom in bloom (I had never seen it up close before and could easily tell it was in the pea family).
The nice thing about Rosario Head and Rosario Beach is that it's not nearly as crowded as the Deception Pass bridge and trails/beach below it. It was nice to just sit there and meditate with nature without interruptions.
