Meet at the trailhead off Hwy 11 at milepost 10 at 9am. Park on the water side of the road, making sure you're clear of the fog line stripe.
I won't be coordinating a Seattle carpool since I live up north. A good option is the Ash Way P&R north of Lynnwood to catch eastside and Seattle drivers. Less than an hour trip to the trailhead.
A PNW classic. A steep but firm trail. We'll be doing a counterclockwise loop via Samish Overlook and Lily Lake before the view at Oyster Dome. Always a possibility of snow in February, so bring along traction devices.
No toilet facilities at the trailhead, but an hour later at Samish Overlook. Pre-hike options include the Smokey Point rest stop or the Starbucks at the Cook road exit 232 off I-5 north of Burlington.
I hope to scout this hike ahead of time and send a GPX track with waypoints.
