We took the 7:55 ferry from Edmonds and arrived before 8:30 to an empty parking lot at the Bay View TH. We headed south to hike the Secret Squirrel loop - using gaia to help navigate. We hiked the BuzzCut (lots of scotch bloom so not a good trail when they are in bloom for anyone that might be affected with hay fever), then to the viewpoint at New Hope. A local hiker told us Mt Baker could be seen from there on a clear day. We continued north to the Beaver Pond loop. Only encountered a couple of mountain bikers and a few hikers so lots of solitude on our hike. Our gps averaged 7 miles.
Loo at the TH is in need of maintenance.
