Deception Pass State Park - Headlands / Rosario Head / Lighthouse Point — Friday, May. 22, 2020

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area

This is a long shot… I lost my wedding ring hiking the Lighthouse Point (outer) Loop on Friday, 05/22/20. I hope a kind soul finds it and returns it to me. 

The ring may have dropped in the northwest section of the trail - anywhere starting from a mini set of switchbacks to a part where the trail is washed out and there's a bit of scrambling afterwards. This area is also where you can take a wrong turn north and end up at a drop off. 

Anyway, I arrived in the parking lot of Bowman’s Bay around 11 AM on a Friday and it was 3/4ths full. We made our way through Lighthouse Point Loop going clockwise. There's plenty of space to sit down and enjoy the views without it feeling overcrowded. There are multiple small beaches with sketchy beach accesses, pathways to tucked away places, and killer views. Once you hit the north/east side of the trail (to finish the loop), it can be difficult to navigate due to overgrowth. Like I said before, there's a part of the trail that's washed out and requires scrambling. I don’t recommend taking children this route. The app **maps.me** was helpful in guiding us in the right way.
