On an amazingly beautiful day, Brandon, Rachel, and I did a personal favorite trek through the Chuckanuts: the Oyster Dome and Lily Lake Loop. Stunning views, lush forest, and several great picnicking spots make this hike a winner.

Hiking/Backpacking

Driving to the Samish Overlook not only gets you an awesome view right off the bat, but it lets you skip the tedious switchbacks leading up from the Chuckanut Trailhead and take advantage of the loop trail leading to Lily Lake.
