Spend the morning meandering through the trail system of Fort Ebey State Park! These trails pass through a diverse landscape, sometimes hugging the bluffs and offering sweeping views of Admiralty Inlet and other times weaving through stands of rhododendrons and towering conifers. If the conditions are right (aka, the trail isn’t busy) we will enjoy 30 minutes of “silent hiking” to allow for some thoughtful introspection and enjoy the sounds of nature around us.
