I started from Chuckanut Drive and hit Lily Lake, Lizard Lake, North Butte, and Oyster Dome. On the first three there were very few people on the trail, but Oyster Dome was quite crowded. The hike ended up being roughly 10 miles, but was not particularly difficult. The trail was a bit hard to follow through the Lily Lake campground, but overall the trails were well marked. North Butte and Oyster Dome had excellent views. The road to get to the trailhead is about 3 miles of gravel, but is well maintained and I had no trouble navigating it in my sedan. There were many people hiking Oyster Dome with children; this trail is suitable for families. Quite a few people were hiking with dogs -- not a problem in and of itself, but I stepped in dog poop that someone had not bothered to clean up. If you bring your dog, please keep the trail clean and pick up its waste!

great hike with some visitors from out of town. lots of people on the trail but not a problem. unpaved road going up is manageable but you'll need a car wash afterwards. bugs are fine as long as you don't stop.

Slept in and got a late start on the morning - arrived at the trailhead around 10:15am. The rough was a bit rough driving up but only a couple of deep potholes, was fine for the most part and the road is fairly wide which allows vehicles to pass easily.

A fairly crowded Saturday on the trail. Lots of friendly faces and perfect weather for a start-of-Summer hike.

Would rate squarely as a moderate - some steeper switchbacks evened out by some wider ares of gradual inclines.  This was a very relaxing hike with some cool views at the top.

Our dog loved the hike too!

Started around 8am, trail pretty well maintained with a bit of mud. Little detour to Lily lake after the dome was low traffic and a nice reprieve from the stream of people coming up on the way down. The Lily lake trail was pretty muddy but manageable. Just watch your way driving to the trailhead, people are dumb and don’t like to move out of the way with their cars. 

I started at the Samish overlook and went to Lily Lake, then Lizard lake, then North Butte and then Oyster Dome. This made the descent steeper than the ascent, which in retrospect, I should have avoided. It's better to start at Oyster Dome and do the other points after that. The whole loop was 9 miles and 1400 ft on Alltrails.

There were lots of wildflowers - I saw purslane, Columbine, false lily-of-the-valley and a few others. 

Trail is well-maintained. It's a popular trail- there were 8 cars when i arrived at 10 am and the parking lot was overflowing when I left at 2 pm.
