Larrabee State Park - South Lost Lake Trail, Larrabee State Park - Rock Trail — Wednesday, May. 14, 2014

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area

Sunny with lots of bugs! Parked at second gate on Cleator Road. Began at South Lost Lakes TrailHead and hiked south west watching for the left turn at South Lost Lakes Trail. Then followed this to a point where I took a side trip to Overlander Trail, not marked as such, there's a sign that says Lost Lakes trail, turn right here for a side trip with wonderful views. Back track back to the sign and turn right to continue loop towards the new Rock trail. This is a cadillac of trails... beautiful boulders, ferns, creeks, and about 150 stairs to the top at where you have a choice of direction that isn't marked. Just go straight and you'll come to Cyrus Gates Overlook that has a bathroom. To finish this loop, follow the road back to the second gate. This loop trip is about 6 miles.
