Day Trip to Whidbey Island: Hiking at Ebey’s Landing
June 4, 2013
“I leave this notice
on my door
For each accustomed
visitor:
I am gone into the fields
To take what this sweet hour yields.”
— Percy Bysshe Shelley
I take most of my out-of-town guests to Whidbey Island for hiking at Ebey’s Landing. The journey itself is half the fun as it involves a ferry ride and a drive along country roads with old barns.
The hike itself is pretty spectacular no matter which season I take guests there. The trail is a pleasant loop, up a bluff, and then along the beach on the way back. This past weekend the landscape was as green as I’ve ever seen it.
