Central Whidbey Island and Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve is the homeland of the Lower Skagit People. When visiting, you will see an incredible landscape that remains virtually unchanged since well before the visit by Captain Vancouver. Visitors will find a healthy and abundant source of wildlife - birds, mammals, sea creatures - you can find it all here on the Reserve. With outstanding vistas and great trails and beaches throughout the Reserve, hiking and beachcombing are two of the most popular activities for visitors. Several trails skirt along steep bluffs to the beaches far below, with access trails up and down the bluff. Its very important that hikers be mindful of the weather conditions, and understand the potential for a landslide. Stormy weather often brings incredible skies and wind that is fascinating to watch. However it can also bring hazardous conditions to the beaches with driftwood and logs crashing ashore. Again, as with any situation, use your common sense and steer clear! |
