Activity: Day Hike, Scenic View

3 miles, > 500’ elevation gain, 90 minute duration, rated EASY

Date: 6-11-22

This nature walk, a short hike situated on 37 acres, starts near the Anacortes Yacht Club.   The trail meanders through a wooded area leading to Cap Sante, a rocky headland that has wonderful views of Anacortes, the Marina, Fidalgo Bay, the San Juan Islands as well as the Cascade Mountains.  

Our friend, a local resident, hiker and lover of nature, Margaret, introduced my son Alec and I to the hike.   This outing really gave us a feel for what an enchanting place Anacortes is.  From this view point we could take in the town, the lovely boats docked at the Marina, and the bright sparkling blue waters looking out at the captivating San Juan Islands – simply breath taking.  

This scenic little jaunt up to Cap Sante kicked off a week of ‘Pursuing Balance Through Adventure’, exploring not only Fidalgo Island, but the neighboring islands as well.  It is easy to see how our friends Margaret and her husband Earl fell in love with Anacortes.   We appreciate them so much for hosting and sharing this beautiful place with us.  This is just the start of our adventure in the NW Corner of the state so stick with Margaret, Alec, and I by doing a few easy things: COMMENT, LIKE, FOLLOW and SHARE.  You will find the menu above a great place for inspiration and ideas for your next adventure.  The menu is categorized by location and sometimes by activity, each is a separate website and thus needs to be FOLLOWED independently.  Checkout SHOP APPAREL for all of your adventure wear desires.

Happy Trails-
