all the wonderful views of Puget Sound when you summit.  Our group wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t that fortunate though, we had cloudy skies with occasional showers and a rare blue sky.  I will definitely be back on a sunny day, the views are breathtaking even on a cloudy day.  <\/p>\n<p>You will drive right pass this trailhead if you are not looking for the tiny wood sign that says \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pacific Northwest Trail\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&#8230;there are no indications that you are at the Oyster Dome trailhead.  The parking lot is pretty much a widen shoulder on State Route 11 or also called Chuckanut Drive, which is a very serene driving road.
