Monday Oyster Dome hike from Samish Overlook

Let's hike to Oyster Dome from Samish Overlook and return via Max's Shortcut this Monday. Weather forecast calls for possible sunshine (or at least less clouds), so the views should be good.

This is a moderate hike of 5.5 miles with 1100 feet of elevation gain. The trail is rocky and rough on the way up and includes several stream crossings (with step stones but your feet might still get wet). On the return, we'll head over toward Lily Lake and come back on Max's Shortcut trail, making this a loop hike rather than out & back.

We'll be moving at a moderate pace and will stop at the overlook for photos and snacks/lunch. I can guarantee it will be muddy and could be cold in the trees, so be prepared.
