The day couldn't have been more beautiful for these hikes! We started off at the trail to Lottie Bay/Point. That was a mistake! What happened to this trail? I've done this one before, but it's a mess now. We stayed on the main trail until we reached a downed tree. We decided to climb over it with our dog, but got into a sketchy mess of a trail. We got out of that one, then went up a couple of the side trails. We gave up on those also. 

All was good though! We then went to Lighthouse Point, which is a trail I've always loved. We even saw one batch of wildflowers. We did a loop on this one. We had our dog, and I'm a hovering dog mom. I made sure she was on a short leash and away from the cliffs. 

Next was the Rosario trail on the other side of Bowman Bay. Just walk down the grass, by the campground and you'll eventually see the trail entrance on the left. We explored a bit of Rosario Beach, then did trails right there which are beyond the cool totem pole.

There are a lot of drop offs on all these trails. We kept our leashed dog very close to us. The views on these trails are beautiful! We couldn't have picked a better day and only saw a handful of other hikers. We had every viewpoint to ourselves. It was another great day and we hiked 5.6 miles. An additional note-the bathrooms in the parking lot are open.

After hiking Ebey's Landing, I took a couple of fellow hikers to Deception Pass State Park since they had never been there. I was thrilled to show them one of my favorite state parks.

After doing the very short hike to the beach below the Deception Pass bridge, we drove over to Rosario Beach and hiked the short trail at Rosario Head.

Tiny white flowers dotted the grass around the parking lot to the trail. On the approach, I saw one brown rabbit nibbling those flowers.

There's a warning at the start of the trail since it's along a the edge of what is pretty much a giant rock and tripping/falling off is a possibility. I had hiked it many times and was confident of my ability to not get too close to the edge. The women with me were like-wise able.

It was a gorgeous day, so we had a clear view of the land/sea around us. There was also some small croppings of Scotch broom in bloom (I had never seen it up close before and could easily tell it was in the pea family).

The nice thing about Rosario Head and Rosario Beach is that it's not nearly as crowded as the Deception Pass bridge and trails/beach below it. It was nice to just sit there and meditate with nature without interruptions.

Beautifully diverse trail with amazing views. Encountered a lot of people, especially at the parts where the trail went through parks. The right trail isn't well marked on the lighthouse point section, where there are several that you can easily take and end up at a dead end or on a renegade route.

Excellent series of loops.  Easy stroll for the most part with some occasional brief hills to get the views.  Surprisingly few people on the trail in the morning this Saturday but it got crowded fast starting around lunch.  Go early for wonderful solitude in one of the most beautiful areas of our State.
