Goose Rock

This is the view looking to the southwest from the top of Goose Rock. This is just under 500 feet above sea level and the land stretching away into the distance is Whidbey Island with the Straits of San Juan de Fuca shown also. The lake in the foreground is Cranberry Lake (also shown below) and in the distance where the coast curves in is the Whidbey Isalnd Naval Air Station. The granite balds, a feature of Goose Rock are clearly seen in the foreground, though there were not a lot of wildflowers blooming on the balds this late in the year. As I write this, I have my coat on, ready to leave to do some exploring around Deception Pass and Goose Rock.
