Arrived at the Samish Overlook access point at 10am and there were about 3 spots available in the lot with spots available along the road. Both the trail and road were perfect condition, slightly watered down from recent rain to not be dusty, but no mud. I always forget how intense the switch backs are going up, but the view and workout are worth it.
Lots of huckleberries, thimble berries, Oregon grape and creeping blackberries ripening. Wildflowers still blooming in the logged sections of the road.
Leaving the lot at noon, there were 4 spots in the lot, and lots of people parked along the road.
A lot of garbage and filled dog bags along the trail. We picked up what we could reach from the trail. Please pick up your dog's poop, and please don't throw garbage into the woods. Also, this is a very busy trail, even if you have a friendly dog, please keep them leashed so they don't surprise one they may not be as friendly.
