Deception
Continuing our
Pass Bridge island hopping we ferried to Whidbey Island where we explored Deception Pass State Park . At 4,134 acres , the park has many different areas and trails above rocky coastlines , rushing tides and marine life . We walked the narrow path across the bridge to enjoy a morning of hiking with spectacular views of the ocean , mountain , and forest .
About an hour away from Whidbey Island is Anacortes the embarkation port for the San Juan Islands where the ferry runs a couple times a day . Two hours on the ferry later we arrived at Orca Island , the largest of the San Juan Islands . It is home to quaint villages as well as Moran State Park , where we enjoyed a day of hiking through the miles of trails in the forest .
The Washington Islands is the place to visit to re-connect with nature , explore quaint towns and enjoy the best wines and food making it a perfect ESCAPADITA .
