South Whidbey State Park — Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2018

We started our hike from the parking lot near the beach trail. A sign at the top said that there was no beach access due to a slide. So we took the loop trail that went along the bluff to the south. The trail was in good condition, with occasional views of the water and Olympic mountains. After that we went across the road to the ridge trail, which was an easy hike through some old growth with very large trees. We especially enjoyed the fern gully. This makes a nice walk; it took us about an hour. Since there other places that have great views, I would save this for a cloudy days when the mountains aren't visible.
