  • Northwest Hiking Weekend Friday, Saturday & Sunday ~ August 2-4, 2019
    Northwest Hiking Weekend Friday, Saturday & Sunday ~ August 2-4, 2019 Register at Lost Lake Day Use Area, Larrabee State Park, Bellingham, Washington Maps and directions will be available at registration table. Registration open: Early registration, Thursday August 1, 4-8 PM Friday and Saturday August 2-3, 8 AM to 5 PM Sunday, August 4, 8 AM to 4 PM Come and join us for a great weekend exploring the Chuckanut Mountains. Cedar Lake Trail and Raptor Ridge Viewpoint The Cedar Lake Trail begins with a thigh-burning climb of 1,300 feet in 1.6 miles; but, the stout- hearted hiker is soon rewarded with a lovely view of Mt. Baker and Lookout Mountain, then an enjoy- able jaunt around beautiful Cedar Lake, after which 10 km hikers continue to another viewpoint, passing many interesting sandstone formations and pockets of old-growth trees. Fragrance Lake and Rock Trail Loop The hike begins with picturesque views of the Salish Sea, far below you; then the Rock Trail, one of the newer trails in Washington State, descends several groupings of timbered steps to reach mas- sive sandstone walls with curious holes embedded in the rock faces. A long, moderate-grade sweep then takes you to the intersecting trails of pretty Fragrance Lake and another viewpoint of the Salish Sea. Oyster Dome Loop Starting at the scenic Samish Overlook, and after completing many switchbacks, the hardy hiker reaches Oyster Dome, a cliff-faced ledge, with more superb views of the Salish Sea and the sur- rounding forest. The trail then continues in a long, easy-grade loop, back to the trailhead.
