My Annual Hike at Ebey’s Landing
August 24, 2012
When I have company from out-of-town, I like to take them to Ebey’s Landing, one of my favorite hikes on Whidbey Island. This loop trail provides a perfect slice of Pacific Northwest life — a ferry ride to get there, expansive views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, bucolic rural scenery, and a beach walk. It’s not too strenuous, and a breeze keeps you cool even on a hot, sunny summer day.
We experienced a special treat on this most recent hike — a plein air artist was working on a landscape in oil pastels. I always love to see artists at work.

Seattle Day Trip: Hiking at Ebey’s Landing
June 21, 2011
Ebey’s Landing on Whidbey Island is one of my all-time favorite hiking destinations. Every step along the trail sports impressive views of Puget Sound. It’s a fairly easy 3-mile loop hike. We hike along the bluff going out and return along the beach. Here are some photos of this year’s hike, my first hike of the season:

One of my favorite places to hike is Ebey’s Landing on Whidbey Island. I try to go at least once a year. It’s a lovely hike on a bluff overlooking Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. I walk back to the trail head along the driftwood-strewn beach.
