Deception Pass State Park - Goose Rock — Sunday, Dec. 30, 2012

Puget Sound and Islands > Whidbey Island

For New Years Eve, a hike on the rocks! We started our hike from the end of Cranberry Lake at the north beach trailhead. There are a number of places to start, but this gave us a nice beachwalk, which we did on the way back. The park trails are all very well signed, but if you have the Green Trails 41S map it is easier to plan your route. We did the bluff trail under the bridge, then took the perameter trail, then cut up from the south side. Some views of the N Cascades from the NE. On top there were good views out on the water and to the south.The rocks were wet and slick, be cautious. We did not see the Olympics as it was cloudy. We came back down the discovery trail, crossing under the CCC built underpass, then headed to the beach.
