The Goose Rock Trail offers a phenomenal view of the Deception Pass Bridge
While many senior dogs won’t be able to make it to the top of Goose Rock, the highest point on Whidbey Island, since the upper section is quite steep, there is no reason not to hike a portion of this trail where wildlife and gorgeous scenery abound. The views are spectacular, and you can enjoy time walking through the woods and/or strolling the beach. Just go as far as you’re comfortable and then turn around. Depending on how far you want to go, this trail does take you to the underside of the Deception Pass Bridge, which is a fascinating perspective! Learn more and read trip reports on the WTA site.

The views of the beach get better and better the higher you go. This photo was taken just before reaching the underside of the bridge.
Though the trail continues beyond the underside of the bridge, we decided to make this our turn-around spot since we were already pushing Chops’ abilities a bit.
