This morning Bob and I headed out early for the 25 minute drive to Deception Pass State Park to beat the crowds. We arrived a little before 9 am, and it was a brisk 58 degrees. I have since learned that Deception Pass is Washington’s most visited state park, which just shows that we are in the know even when we’re not!
Deception Pass State Park spreads over 3,854 acres across 2 islands, Fidalgo to the north and Whidbey to the south. We drove across Fidalgo Island and the Deception Pass Bridge to get to the park. We happily paid the $10 park fee and went off to explore the Goose Rock Summit and Perimeter Trails before heading down to the bay for a light breakfast as we watched the boats, fishermen, and got a proper look at the impressive bridge.
