For today, I decided to return to Deception Pass State Park and hit some of the trails I didn't get to on Wednesday. But first, I started out the day with another nice sunrise from Cap Sante Park!

My first hike of the day would be the Hoypus Hill area of Deception Pass State Park. Much of this area is an old growth forest!

I also included a little side side detour to check out Ala Spit!

Overall, I hiked about 12 miles. Here is the GPS track from my main hike of the day.
For my next hike, I headed on over to a different area of Deception Pass State Park to hike the Pass Lake Loop, Ginnett Trail, and John Tursi Trail.

The skies were crystal clear and I was really hoping to get an open view of Mount Baker, but this one was the best I got.
I was really hoping for a more open view than this!
So after my hike, I decided to take advantage of the clearest day of the week to find some good views of Mount Baker!

For Dinner, Amy and I decided to do some Restaurant/Bar Hopping. We were told that we had to try the Clam Chowder at A'Town Bistro. So we started there!
I have never paid $17.00 for a bowl of Clam Chowder before, but I have also never had Clam Chowder with about 2 dozen clams still in the shell! This was more than enough for (2) people and probably the best Clam Chowder I ever had! Well worth the $17.00!

A perfect ending to our final evening in Anacortes!
