Well, we meant to get our hike started at 9:30 and apparently needed more sleep today. But the lot was mostly empty when we got there at 11ish so no harm done.
The tide was going out throughout the day while we hiked. We went to the right from the parking lot, past the CCC building and did the Rosario loop first. We headed back, across the beach, and out on the Lottie Bay loop next. This one takes you down to a neat view of the bridge across Deception Pass, but it's loud on part of the trail with the construction sometimes. I'd still recommend checking it out. Last was our trip around the Lighthouse point loop - also scenic, with views of the bridge, mountains etc. We liked all three loops :)
It was mostly flat, with a couple steep inclines in a few places but this is a really nice choose our own distance hike, since you can do all of these spots like we did, or just choose one or two. Some folks at the campsites, and families on the beach, but nothing felt crowded. Some mask use, but overall folks were respectful of moving to the side on the trails so it felt comfortable.
We hung out until around 4, but you could easily do these trails more quickly if you wanted to. You need your Discover Pass, but you can get one at a machine there if you don't have one.
