Day Hike - Whatcom Falls

No parking permits needed.

This will be a slow paced photography hike with frequent stops for photographs. The stops for photographs could be long. There will be time to adjust camera settings, change lenses,  and wait for the wildlife come to us.

There are many photo opportunities, including multiple waterfalls, bridges, a railroad trestle built in 1916, and ponds with ducks and birds. The hike on January 1, 2020 had a black squirrel, many mallard ducks, a glaucous winged gull, a common goldeneye, red winged blackbird, and chickadees. We heard many more birds, but didn't see them.
