Day Hike - Ebeys Landing
This is a conditioning hike for the upcoming backpack season. We'll hike about 6 miles through the forest, past historic sites at Ft Ebey State Park and along the bluff overlooking Puget Sound. On a clear day there are expansive views of the Olympic Mountains and easy access to a sandy beach for those that wish to enjoy life after the hike.
