Steelhead Park

Unlike some other parts of the world, county parks in the US rarely include campgrounds, especially campgrounds with full amenities. The Howard Miller Steelhead Park, in Rockport, WA, on the beautiful Skagit River, is a stupendous exception: sixty-some river-front campsites, miles of trails, and a variety of historical structures and signage of interest. Miller was a fishing guide of note and later four-term county commissioner. 

Excellent signage

And artifacts...





Best trailhead signage ever, so far


Hiking the riparian trails


Beautiful Skagit River

Campsite


OK, rotate your screen clockwise 90 degrees: innovative use of
actual boulder for bouldering; in the kiddie park

Azaleas...

And rhododendrons in bloom all over western Washington

Even the bird-house tree was blooming
