The park contains a series of trails that can be combined in any number of combinations into hikes that are longer or shorter, harder or easier, out-and-back or loop. There are two main viewpoints, one looking west over the Skagit Valley and the other looking north towards Mount Baker. The terrain varies from flat to rolling hills to steep hillsides.
