Larrabee State Park - Rock Trail — Sunday, Mar. 24, 2019

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area

Had a great time exploring Rock Trail to south Lost Lake via Cyrus Gates Lookout. The road to the Cyrus Gates Lookout was a 3.5 mile well maintained gravel road and suitable for all vehicles. Take in the breathtaking view at the top Of Cyrus Gates Lookout. Started out at Rock Trail and it quickly descends to the 100+ stairs. The 1200 feet elevation back up is a workout! The trail is a fascinating blend of moss, large rocks, and sandstone cliffs with cubby holes and ferns. The trail comes to an end to the South Lost Lake Trail. Turn left to head to the north end of the lake. You’ll come to a TH and turn right to head to the lake. Wind around the marshy logs and head up a narrow trail to a large bald rock for a view of the lake or keep going to access the lake. There’s a large tree to sit on and have lunch. My dog loved jumping in the lake!
