Goose Rock

The park just south of the Deception Pass bridge is full of easy, rambling hikes in the woods with views out across Puget Sound to the Olympics or, east of the road, to stunning views of Mt. Baker and the wonderful waterways and islands of our Pacific NW. The trail west to the point is in good shape but short. It is disappointing that you hike a mile to get to a parking lot. Much more interesting are the trails east of the road around and over Goose Rock. The signs for the perimeter trail are misleading. The ""perimeter"" is only the curved part of a ""D"". You have to take the lower forest trail and ultimately the Goose Rock summit to get back to your car. On a sunny day like today, however, it was fun just to be outdoors.
