Description

This gravelly road serves up some steeper grades separated by level patches. It's less entertaining than the nearby Rufus Creek Trail or Leila June Trail, but it's a good alternate or nice part of a loop. A number of views along the way make for a nice pause as you hike. In the fall some deep drainage ditches can slick if covered in leaves.

The bridges are wide and stable, but they can also be a tad slick in the fall and winter.

The forest around the Lake Whatcom View Trail gets more vibrant the higher up you climb.

The southern half of the Lookout Loop Trail is more of a road, but there are still some good views along the way.

It's a loop so either option will work.

Lake Whatcom is visible from the top of the trail, but really you'll have a better view of Stewart Mountain.
