Deception Pass State Park - Headlands / Rosario Head / Lighthouse Point — Friday, Aug. 14, 2020

Not too busy for being a Friday afternoon. The Bowman Bay beach area was popular but we had most of the trails to ourselves. The views are beautiful and I enjoyed seeing the many beaches and rock structures along the trail. Overall the trails are easy and easy to follow. WITH ONE EXCEPTION: I've attached the WTA trail map to this trip report and shadowed one of the adjoining trails in red. We followed the adjoining trail thinking it would easily loop around back to Bowman Bay. We were wrong. The trail is hard to follow at times and at one point (marked with an X) leads sharply downhill just to end at the water so we had to scramble back up. Ya know, like using your hands on the uphill ground and grabbing tree roots to balance. The good news is you can't truly get lost on this trail since lighthouse point is surrounded by water, but it was an annoyance to us and likely an accident waiting to happen for young children or anyone less nimble.
