Sign at the parking area
This was a new place for us to visit near Coupeville on Whidbey Island. The sign is by the entrance and the parking area. This is a non-profit outdoor gallery, no fee to park or walk through. Donations are welcome. There is a port-a-potty in the parking area.
The entry to the loop trail is through this archway
[Entry arch and kiosks by Michael Hauser and Ken Price]
The trail is two loops, Nature Nurtured and Whimsy Way, linked together to form a figure 8. The sculptures are placed within the forest along the .6 mile trail that winds up and down and around. It is open from 8 am to 7 pm (or sunset) everyday year round. No bikes or dogs permitted on the trails.
Here is a sampling of what the visitor will encounter while walking on the trail through the forest.

There are two eagle sculptures in the forest by the same artist. This one titled Attacking Eagle and the other is called Soaring Eagle.
