Washington Park — Monday, Jul. 4, 2011

Puget Sound and Islands > San Juan Islands

Got up and headed out on a hike at 0600 in the morning to see Washington Park on Fidalgo Island near Antacortes, Washington. There are some fantastic trails in the park. Among them are Green Point, Fidalgo Head Loop, Channel View, Burrows Bay, Juniper Point, Havkost and Rosario Strait. This was part of hike 23 of 50 I planned at age 50. A beautiful July 4, 2011 weekend to hike and I was not disappointed at all. The views of wildlife I saw were unmatched in most of Washington State in such a short peiod of time. Deer, Sea Lion, Sea Otter, Eagles, Squirrels, Blue Herron and Loons among some of them. There is plenty of hiking, backpacking, camping, kayaking, boating, sailing, photography and wildlife. This hike can be done year around. This is one of the best ocean views I have seen from trails in the Pudget Sound Area other than Deception Pass State Park which is only 20 minute drive from this park. If you come up here visit both parks and you will not be disappointed.
