Assateague Island National Park


During our weekend at the beach we spent the afternoon at Assateague Island which is a short drive from Ocean City, MD.  Dan was able to purchase his Golden Eagle pass so now we get into National parks for free!

We took the Salt Marsh Nature Trail and spotted some lovely egrets.  The bird above may be an osprey but that's the closest I could zoom in on it.







Above is my favorite shot.  Such a perfect reflection.











The trail is a board walk the whole way.


Here's the ocean at the park looking north to Ocean City.


And here's what the park is known for: wild horses.  The ranger is saying, "You can't stop."
