This park is located about 20 miles south of Tillamook very close to the pacific ocean... lovely spot really and we have always enjoyed our visits to this park. For 1 thing they have wild bunnies and deer which adds a special flavor! Then they are right across the street from a very cool beach with tide pools... their very own 'haystack rock' which they like to boast about in town.. the park is on a hill and densly wooded which adds a bit of privacy... WHEN the weather is nice, it's a great place to have campfires... this year however our timing was off and we hit a very rainy, windy time! goodness the wind and rain pelted down on us and we stayed pretty much holed up inside..ha! Left today (the 29th) and had every thing hit us from rain, wind, hail, snow and finally sunshine! Lovely.. now at Long Beach, WA until Friday!!!
On a pretty day there is nothing quite like hiking to the top of Deception Pass for a picnic lunch and a lovely view of the San Juan Islands. One of our favorite things to do while in the area. Afterwards we drop off lunch gear and hike down to beach. This year the beach was wall to wall fisher people! Have never seen so many fisherman here before but were told the salmon were coming and they were all hoping to catch at least one! It is quite a hike but oh the view! Can't beat a day's trip here when the sun is out and weather nice and warm. Those lucky boaters too; so many of them!
