Thanksgiving weekend 2022

We found forests in Bellingham for the holiday!

We started Thursday with a chilly loop hike at the Stimpson Family Nature Reserve

Moss! Ferns! Leaves!

And in the afternoon we descended 51 steep steps…

To hidden Locust Beach

On Friday we failed to see the views from the top of Chuckanut Mountain

Because it was socked in and pouring

But different stairs…

Led to more natural treasures, like curvy trees!

And dry cliff walls with caves!

In a different part of the park we risked the rising tide in another cave (so cool!)

And eventually came inside to swim in the warm hotel pool

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
