2/2. Surprised by the sunshine despite of the rainy forecast. Drove to Deception Pass for some short hikes, since we started late. On the way, along I-5, saw quite a few Trumpeter Swans on their way north.
First, went to Goose Rock. Probably the highest point you can reach via trails within the park. On the way down, took a longer route to the Park HQ, now closed for the season.
Cross the road, walk the now-closed park road to the beach. Thanks to the closure, road walking is quite pleasant. Didn't see anyone else.
Going back on the bridge, headed to Lighthouse Point. Saw a bald eagle from the bridge. This part is new to me. Walked first down to the narrow between Lottie Bay and Bowman Bay. Lottie Bay is muddy, smells faintly like sewer. Bowman Bay is bigger, nicer, has a long deck and boat dock. The trail on Lighthouse Point is small, with good (small) grassy spots to have a picnic. 
The fun part is some rocks to scramble. The rock where the actual lighthouse is on requires some daring. There're two ropes. One on the slope going down from the "mainland", and one on the rocky slope to get up to the lighthouse rock. The rope on the "mainland" is not necessary. There're nice roots you can grab on. The one on the lighthouse rock is necessary. The rock is slippery, not a lot of foothold. It's not to our nature to let go and rely on a rope.Download the official park map.
