April Hikes: 2.5 - 5 miles, 250 - 1,000 feet gain - Ebeys Landing

Enjoy a gentle 3.4 mile ramble through lovely Ebey's Landing! A ferry ride is required. This hike can apply toward your GoHike Graduation! These will have an easy social pace.

  • Easy
  • For Beginners (Getting Started Series)
  • Mileage: 4.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 295 ft
  • Pace: 1.5 mph

Meet at the LYNNWOOD Park and Ride at 7:15AM and drive together from there to Mukilteo to catch the 8AM ferry.  Don't be late - we will only wait until 7:20 before we take off.  For those meeting us at Ebey's landing, aim for 9AM at the trailhead by the beach.

This is a shortened version since we will only be walking the bluff and shore and not the bit that extends to the cemetery.

We will be walking counter-clockwise, starting from the parking lot to the trail above the bluff. The trail then meanders down to the shore where we'll walk back to our starting point.

Because of the steep incline along the bluff trail, trekking poles are recommended in order to maintain balance. The bluff trail is also pretty narrow so we'll be walking single file until we get to the shore.

Afraid of blisters? Try coating your feet with vaseline and/or wearing wool socks.

Cloth face coverings are required for participants who are not fully vaccinated and must be worn when passing others or when closer than 6' to others in the party.

All group members must carry either alcohol-based  hand sanitizer or biodegradable soap.

This activity will be structured to maintain 6' whenever possible (brief periods closer than 6’ are acceptable).
