Ebey's Landing — Sunday, Jul. 23, 2023

We parked near the Ebey house (they have an open house on weekends, but we didn't get time to check it out) on the Cemetery road. This lot didn't have any signs requiring Discover pass. Bio toilets were clean. The long straight walk to the bluff gives a panoramic view of the agricultural fields with the sea in the backdrop. We then took the bluff trail, which had a lot of hornets burrowing into the sand everywhere. They didn't seem to mind the hikers. The views from atop the bluff were breathtaking. The switchbacks down to the beach were a bit scary, especially when carrying a toddler on your backpack carrier. From the beach, if you want to go back to our starting point, you have to either go back up the bluff and return the way you came or you can stroll through the beach which will take you to the other parking lot and then walk up the gentle slope back to the starting point. We chose the latter even though it adds a mile and half to the hike.
