Deception Pass State Park - Headlands / Rosario Head / Lighthouse Point — Tuesday, Jul. 6, 2021

We were a bit disappointed to find the promised views across the Sound to the Olympics entirely shrouded by 60-degree fog (despite 80-degree temperatures in the Seattle area) until after our 3pm departure ... not to mention the bridge views impeded by construction tarps and the fishing pier closed due to storm damage. We took our time exploring the bays, Lottie and Lighthouse Point, and Rosario Head, so the 4.86mi, 801 ft gain (more than listed!), ~3-hour hike/meander certainly wasn't a total loss. We enjoyed looking at barnacles and taking in the forests of hemlock, fir and Pacific Madrone, but beware of impaired visibility and chillier temperatures here than you might otherwise expect in July!
