Monday Oyster Dome the Hard Way Hike (from Chuckanut)

Let's hike to Oyster Dome the hard way - from Chuckanut Drive! It's a long, arduous climb but worth it for the views from the top.

This is a strenuous hike of 6.2 miles with 1800 feet of elevation gain. The trail is steep on the way up and includes several stream crossings towards the top (with step stones but your feet might still get wet). Otherwise, the trail is in great shape. We'll be moving at a moderate pace and will stop at the overlook for photos, snacks/lunch, and to soak up the sun.

• We'll be starting from Chuckanut Drive (NOT Samish Overlook), click here for a map.
• Because parking is very limited along Chuckanut, we'll meet up at the North Chuckanut Parking Lot at 10:00AM to carpool down to the trailhead.
• If several people are coming from the south, you can meet up in the Chuckanut Manor parking lot and take one car to the trailhead right up the road. (They don't like people using their lot but if it's only one or two cars it will be OK.)
• The hike will probably start at 10:20 or so to give us time for carpooling.

No parking pass is required.
Dogs are allowed but should be leashed.
There's no bathroom on the trail.
