Deception Pass State Park - Headlands / Rosario Head / Lighthouse Point, Deception Pass State Park - Lottie Point Loop — Friday, Feb. 26, 2021

Had a very stormy hike here.  Bays that are normally calm had crashing surf.  I started out around Lighthouse Point.  Apparently, some maps show a loop around the north shore of Lighthouse Point.  It doesn't exist.  Social trails that head in that direction soon fade in brush and cliffs with no views.  There is just the south shore loop, and a short cutoff trail down the wooded center of Lighthouse Point.  These trails are in fine condition.

I next did the lollipop loop around Lottie Point.  This was a mess!  There are many downed trees, and some washed out trail.  One part of the trail has a rather dicey step with a vertical abyss below.  This might be beyond the comfort level of some hikers.  I completed the loop, so obviously it is passable, but maybe is best avoided for now until crews can get in and make some trail repairs.  

FITW, mask usage was rather poor, particularaly among families with dogs, an odd correlation that has been noted by others in their trip reports.
