Description
Sometimes it's nice to plan your holiday so that you don't miss the 'big' things or the 'must see' things. Other times it's great to just show up and be totally surprised and delighted. This was one of those times! On a Sunday morning I visited with a friend who told me I should go see Deception Pass. I had no idea what to expect but off I went anyway. And by late afternoon, here I was! I was so amazed by the beauty! It was simply stunning. Even from the cliffs 177 feet above the water, you can see the power of the water as it starts to rush through the straight. On my next visit, I want to view the pass and the bridge from the beaches below! The pass is crossed by the Deception Pass bridge. On the website http://www.whidbeycamanoislands.com/thingstodo/heritage/deception_pass/ it says: "The Deception Pass Bridge began as a dream, became a convenience, and developed into an icon. Curving gracefully between Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands, it crowns the most visited state park in Washington. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, this bridge is recognized for its engineering and the elegant architecture that complements the scenic and geologic wonder of Deception Pass." It is worth quoting for its poetry! The bridge actually consists of two separate spans, one to the south of Pass Island over Deception Pass, and one to the north of Pass Island over Canoe Pass. This view is from the north side of the Canoe Pass span, looking east.
