Explore the Flower Fields of Skagit Valley

Skagit Valley is an important agricultural region of Washington State, but the prettiest time of year to attend is during the spring when flower season takes hold. Daffodils first, then tulips, and then irises bloom and cover fields as far as the eye can see. The Skagit Tulip Festival is held every spring from April 1-30, but the bloom is dependent on mother nature's whims, so you might be able...

Directions: From Bellingham W.A., follow I-5 south to exit 240 and turn right (west) onto ...

Oyster Dome via Chuckanut Trail

The trail begins on the Pacific Northwest Trail, which ascends quickly up the side of Blanchard Mountain. The trail contains several switchbacks which wind through second-growth alder, Western red cedar, and Douglas fir forest. After about one mile there is an overlook with a bench that offers a great glimpse of the San Juan Islands (a great preview of the view to come), which is a great place...

North Butte via Chuckanut Trail

The HikeThe hike there isn't short, has several steep sections, and ends at the top of the mountain. There are cliff warnings at the top, so be careful as you explore the view! The steepest portions are at the beginning and right at the end. The trail is very well maintained (because it is so popular) and safe. The NatureBlanchard Mountain, as are many of the Chuckanuts, is a rôche moutonné...
