We were the first cars in the parking lot at 7:50AM, but cars started arriving soon after we parked. The road up to the Samish Overlook is in good condition. We could see where some of the potholes have been recently filled in, but don't let that fool you. There are still a few deep holes but they can be easily avoided. The restroom at the overlook was clean and well stocked.
We took a break to take in the view from Oyster Dome and then continued on to Lily Lake. The campground at Lily lake was empty but in good condition.
Lizard Lake was calm with no bugs in sight! Looks like there is some campground maintenance happening there. We sat and watched as a few fish were jumping. Today was the first sunny and warm day this spring and the forecast for tomorrow is even warmer with temps reaching 70 degrees. The blissful bug free experience won't last much longer.
We returned on the Larry Reed Trail. The little yellow violets were just starting to bloom on this section of the trail. The parking lot was completely full with a few cars lining the road when we got back to Samish Overlook at 12:20PM.
