Parking pass needed: Discover Pass 

The parking lot is up a forest road. There is a junction that could lead you the wrong way, so be sure to pay attention to the signs. Be sure to go to the upper parking lot and not the lower, and Do NOT take the road to the Samish Overlook! 

We'll take the "back way" to Oyster Dome.
