This was taken looking south from Sares Head in Sharpe Park. The photo was taken on a dull winter day when the sun broke through briefly. The land in the distance is Whidbey Island and this is not a black and white photo.

This is the view north from Sares Head on Fidalgo Isalnd. The bluffs can be hiked from this point to the northern edge of the park and are noted for their beautiful old Madrone trees.

This is the view north from the Montgomery-Duban Headlands and Sares Head with its bluffs and granite balds. Sares Head is the destination of most hikers in Sharpe Park, though there is much more to see and enjoy. The islands are some of the San Juan Islands, with Allan Island and the Williamson Rocks the nearest. The water is the Strait of San Juan de Fuca and that part of it known as Rosario Strait.

Sare's Head is part of Sharpe Park and the Montgomery-Duban Headlands south of Anacortes, Washington, on Fidalgo Island. It is 110 acres and undeveloped, a wonderful place for wildflowers, wetland creatures, for very old Madrone trees and for some pleasant hiking. My wife and I have been there several times recently, the last time to see the Fairy Slippers in bloom. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/04/sharpe-park...

The ultimate destination in Sharpe Park is Sares Head where one has fabulous views of the Straits of San Juan and the San Juan Islands. This photo was taken looking south and shows the granite balds which are quite a common feature of the coast in this area and which support a unique and wonderful flora. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/04/sharpe-park...
