Puget Sound and Islands
updated 1 month ago

Hikers can expect a challenging experience, with several sections requiring scrambling and a significant amount of elevation gain and loss, making it lean towards the higher end of a moderate difficulty hike. While there are scattered views of East Whatcom County from the ridge, reports do not mention any views of the water. There were no bug issues noted on August 16.

Trail is very steep to begin and in places thereafter. Beautiful trees, flowers and ferns everywhere. Great lookout points to view Baker, Twins and N Cascades! Worth the incline challenge!
