A beautiful day for a trail hike and a walk on the beach and Whidbey Island never disappoints. Trail goes downhill to the beach and is mostly in the shade until the last 200 feet where the staircase has been damaged from mother nature. It twisted on its side and is not usable so you have to bypass it and climb down the embankment so be careful with younger kids and anyone with balance issues. The lower quarter of the trail just above the beach is under construction and I hope they will be able to salvage all the good wood from the staircase. I don't think they can fix it as is but will have to remake it. I think making stairs by cutting them into the hill side and supporting them with squares of wood filled in with gravel would be better.

As always get out and see this beautiful state and enjoy your hiking!!!
Take Care,
Mike
