Camano Island S.P. – meet at 1 pm at the restrooms near the group camp and cabins. Join Ranger Allison (Ali) Clark, volunteers, and other park staff for a hike on Howard Adams Trail.

On a clear day, you’ll catch peek-a-boo views of Saratoga Passage as well as the Olympic Mountains. Contact Allison (Ali) Clark at 425-312-4173. More about Camano Island State Park
