Absolutely stunning walk along the bluff with clear views and blooming foliage. We spotted bald eagles and seals easily, and the weather was perfect. 

Hiked the bluff/beach portion of the Ebey's Landing Trail.  3.5 miles. Drove around and over Deception Pass. Arrived at parking lot at 8:45. Beautiful day! 5 other cars there at that point.  Headed up and along the bluff. Just saw two people while walking the bluff and three people on the far end of the beach. Saw eagle, two bunnies, one snake. Arrived back at trailhead at 10:30. Very full parking area with people waiting for my spot as I finished up. 

Fantastic hike with beautiful Puget Sound Views!  Hiking the wildflower covered bluff, the elevation gain is in the first 1/4 mile, then a sandy, narrow trail leads you gently around the bluff, ending with a switchback decent.  Return to the trailhead via the beach…you never know what you might discover! (Crabs, beautiful rocks, mermaids purse, even a washed ashore baby dolphin?)

Not too busy…ground hornets were profuse, so bring your epipen if your allergic, but they didn’t seem to mind us hikers.

Arrived at the Prairie Overlook Trailhead around 8:30 in the morning, and was the first car in the lot. Facilities are clean and stocked. Headed along the Prairie Overlook Trail to the Bluff trail and took the loop counterclockwise, enjoying the wonderful views from the bluff and beach. Bugs were a minor annoyance. Some wildflowers still blooming, adding yellows and deep purple colors to the hillside. Saw many varieties of birds, a snake, a lizard and a seal on my hike today! 

Gorgeous day to hike Ebey's Landing. 

Dog owners beware that right now the trail is riddled with varies spiky plants. I have hiked this trail previously in the fall and it was not a problem. I would not recommend taking your dog on the trail right now unless they are wearing shoes to protect their paws. Even so, the spikes could still get in their fur.

Also, this trail is narrow to begin with, but with the spring blooms it is even narrower right now, so if you have to pass anyone it is a tight squeeze.
