Plan to meet at the trailhead at 7:30am to avoid congestion as we're close to Bellingham.

The Chuckanut Mountaion Recreation Area map is a great resource for this area.

COVID protocols are loosening, but please be prepared to social distance and mask up when passing others on the trail.

New protocols allow carpooling for fully vaccinated people at the driver's discretion.

Possible post-hike socially distanced meal in Granite Falls if we can find someplace that supports outside dining. Completely optional.
