Day Hike to Lighthouse Point – Whidbey Island, WA

Well it’s 2020 and I started my season with a go to warm up hike for me, Lighthouse Point on Whidbey Island. I’m a photographer by trade, but originally from the Midwest, so when I say I like to hike, it’s probably not as extreme as most hikers here in the PNW. My hikes usually involve a long car rides, ( with great music) an enjoyable hike carrying 9mm ammo, and photography along the way, then maybe a packed lunch or a stop somewhere to try a new local place along the way.

This is Lighthouse Point. It is located on the North side of the Deception Pass bridge, look for the Bowman Bay sign at the first left over the bridge. (heading north on Whidbey Island coming from the ferry) If you get to the lake that runs right next to the road on the left, you went too far. Follow the signs for Bowman Bay and you will end up in a parking lot with a large field next to hit. A discover Pass is required here, so be prepared!

This hike will give you, beaches that disappear with the tides, cliffs, an island, views of the bridge, and the sound, marsh lands, small amounts of elevation, all on an easy to navigate pathway. Did I mention that this is a loop hike? (I love loop hikes, no worries about getting lost in the woods lol) I hope you enjoy the photos and I’m looking forward to my next adventure!

Long Beach isn’t exactly near Seattle, Its about a 3 to 4 hour drive south near the Oregon border. So peaceful, so beautiful, and just delightful. Long Beach is located on a peninsula and offers shopping, hotels, restaurants, and abundance of family friendly stores, to make everyone happy. Looking forward to spending more time there myself.

Cape Flattery is probably about five hours from downtown Seattle. This isn’t you regular drive on the freeway though, it consist of small towns, The Washington State Ferry, and pretty much one road that drives along next to The Straight of Juan de Fuca. There is a trail located on the Makah Indian Reservation that will take you to this beautiful destination. Make sure you come prepared though, there is a $10.00 charge for a recreational pass that is required. The trial is an easy hike, very scenic, and well maintained. This adventure is great for the entire family. For more information go to http://www.northolympic.com/capeflatterytrail/
