The sun finally came out so I took the pup to Rosario Head near Deception Pass. We parked at Pass Lake and hiked the Bowman Bay Trail to the bluffs at Rosario Head. The recent wind and rain has scattered branches and debris on the trails; beware the tripping hazards. A few trees are down, but the big ones have already been cut so the hiking is largely unhindered. The campground at Bowman Bay is muddy and has several large trees down from what looks like wind damage. Trees were snapped in two or uprooted completely. Luckily, none of the historic CCC structures were hit. I was also happy to see new plaques to replace the faded, illegible ones at the statue of Ko'kwal'alwoot. Reading her story is always one of my favorite parts about visiting the park.
The crowds were thin today despite the perfect weather. The trails were certainly more crowded in the afternoon, but in all, we only passed about 15 parties in 3 hours of roaming. Mask usage was sporadic; maybe 60% masked.
