Ebey Bluffs
|
|
|
Whidbey Island (north of Seattle). The most famous scenic cache in the Puget Sound area. A 3.5-mile round trip up the bluffs and down the beach nets this gem, plus two other caches. Whidbey is a wonderful day trip; drive on (or off) the island at Deception Pass (another scenic wonder) and take the Mukilteo ferry at the other end. And don't miss lunch at the Mad Crab in Coupeville! |
