Magnificent views over Anacortes and the islands extending into the northern Cascades.

A magical topography. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember, like 4 years old. This is next-level global architecture. Interior design, whatever. This landscape is worthy of fabled HHGTTG creative Slartibartfast, whose expertise lie in fjords.

Oyster Dome, located in Blanchard State Forest, is the highest point at 2,025 feet. Starting from Chuckanut Drive, the trail passes through old forests and former logging areas with abandoned equipment. It offers a steep hike to stunning views of the Salish Sea.

Cap Sante Park is a 37 acre forested promontory at the eastern edge of Anacortes. It is primarily a viewpoint overlooking the marina, the City of Anacortes, March Point, Fidalgo Bay and the Cascades. A remnant of an amphitheater is located on the east bank of the park.

In the spring of 1792, Joseph Whidbey, George Vancouver's chief navigator, sailed the HMS Discovery through the narrow passage now known as Deception Pass. He proved that it was not a small bay, as the Spanish had assumed, but a deep and lively channel that connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca with the Saratoga Passage and separates the mainland from the supposed peninsula, which turned out to be Fidalgo Island and Whidbey Island; hence the name "deception".

This 27-acre area features 2,100 feet of shoreline, with one of the main highlights being Yellow Bluff, which provides one of the best examples of a sequence of glacial sediments right on the water's shore.

Lizard Lake is a pretty mountain lake located on Blanchard Mountain in the Chuckanuts. Take a break and enjoy the beautiful setting.

Oyster Dome is a rock promontory in the forest lands of Blanchard Mountain. From the overlook you get expansive views of the San Juan Islands, Vancouver Island and the Olympic Mountains.
