The hike to Oyster Dome Lookout is challenging, so be sure to pack plenty of water and appropriate clothing for rapidly changing weather conditions. Well worth the reward of the stunning views and tranquility you will find while perched atop the lookout. If not up for the challenge of the hike, the views from Samish Bay Overlook are equally beautiful. You may even see paragliders launching from this favorite area.
