Hiking season may be coming to an end here in Washington, but there’s still a little time to hit the trail before winter. And if you have time for one more hike this year, you should make it one that offers views as stunning as the Chuckanut Ridge Trail.
The Chuckanut Ridge Trail follows a ridge in the center of Bellingham’s Larrabee State Park.
Mary Anderson / alltrails.com Larrabee State Park is located on Samish Bay on the western side of Chuckanut Mountain.
The trail is about 6 miles long, and while it’s challenging, it’s also very rewarding.
Mary Anderson / alltrails.com From the North Chuckanut Mountain Trailhead, you’ll hike about 1.2 miles to the Chuckanut Ridge Trail. And that’s where the views really begin.
On a clear day, you’ll get glimpses of Mt. Baker in the distance.

The natural wonders you’ll see on this trail are seemingly endless.
