2009.2.14. A short hike to Oyster Dome. Less than 2000ft, 6.5 miles (<3 hrs) R/T. Nice view: lots of small island, and some peaks of Vancouver Island, too cloudy to see the Olympics. A bat cave (without bat) about 2 miles in. Otherwise keep left at the forks. A small wedding was in preparation up top, even with proper attires. Snow lingered a bit towards the top, so somewhat slippery and muddy. Some snow geese, lots of ducks and 1 heron along the drive.Direction: at milepost 10 on north SR 11 (Chuckanut Drive) west of I-5. A restaurant and toilet just north of the trail head. Possible to drive up, from another direction.
