We arrived at the Bowman Bay TH and boat launch at 9:45 and had no trouble finding parking spot in this large lot. We took the trail to the right, which leads to Rosario Head. The views along the way and when you arrive at Rosario Head are outstanding. Deception Pass and the islands are very impressive in their beauty. We headed back to Bowman Bay and had lunch at one of the many picnic tables that are available. After lunch we hiked a bit further on Bowman Bay.
Next stop was to drive across the bridge and enter the main gate of Deception Pass State Park. We went to West Beach and walked the dunes nature trail. This is a very pleasant interpretive trail. Along the way, we stopped to admire the 850 year old tree in the dunes, which is very impressive in its size and limb structure.
These trails provided a pleasant and gorgeous adventure. We ended up logging 4.7 miles and 260' elevation gain.
