Deception Pass

Below are some photos from a hike at Deception Pass. After spending a few days at a work field site near here, Craig wanted to show me the fantastic place he got to call the office for a while. It was amazing--such a lush and dynamic environment. It was hard to look at the setting and not imagine the rich lifestyle the natives must have had here ages ago.

Luckily, we were also there when the tide was in transition from high to low. When this happens, the water at Deception Pass becomes a swirling confusion of water simultaneously flowing in two directions!

We had these views for most of the hike!
