Oyster Dome — Wednesday, Mar. 12, 2025

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area
View from Samish Overlook

Quick report for those interested in the Oyster Dome Trail from the Samish Overlook lot. Trail is in pretty good shape for this time of year. Some mud in areas and rocky tread as usual. The views were dramatic at both the overlook and at the Dome itself due to the cloudy conditions. Saw a couple dozen people including a group of college age hikers visiting from Tennessee. They commented there aren’t a lot of hills like this in their hometown of Nashville! 

BTW - Many thanks to whomever is keeping the bathroom clean and stocked. 

One note of caution - the road has developed some deep potholes. Nothing terrible, just more care needed than in times past. It looked like someone has been trying to fill some of the holes with rocks which helps. It’s right on the border of “suitable for all vehicles” and “rough but passable”.
