The weather cooperated and the sun broke through as we reached the beach for lunch. The sunshine highlighted the fall colors. The area is rich in historical sites which added interest to the trip.
Amazing November weather for this extended triple cross paddle. Misery Point - Stavis Bay - Quatsap Point - Dosewallips River - Toandos Peninsula - Anderson Landing County Park.
Amazing to me still how even on sunny weekends, above the Balcony, how empty this trail is. Great group. Great conditions.
Winter wonderland! Perfect conditions on a sunny day.
A wonderful early winter paddle with great weather and a great group. Little wind, some sunshine and moderate temperatures.
A fine, windy winter day with new snow adorning the Olympics. Launched from Grapeview and after rounding Stretch Island, we crossed the inlet and paddled north to the end of the inlet.
The majority of this trip was pleasant and uneventful, with breezy but manageable conditions. This is a great trip, with a fascinating experience through the Locks. See below for incident that occurred in the Locks on the return to our launch site.
a shoulder season backpack (mentored leader trip for me) - we made the most of a weather window to catch some fall foliage & camp by a scenic lake & we hike out in snow.
Halloween paddle from Ebey's landing to Fort Casey to see the haunted fort.
We completed this loop walk , starting in the Union Bay Natural Area , and looping around to the Arboretum. It is a scenic and historic route , including the Urban Gardens , Wetlands , and two City Parks .
Only in Bellingham would I find such an artistically carved pumpkin so I could use it as my foreground to Middle Falls one year later. Dedicated to the young ones and the young at heart.
Beautiful fall trip with foliage turning. Fog in the morning lifting for sunshine in the afternoon. Explored to the ends of Chapmand Bay, Woodard Bay and Henderson Inlet.
A great way to access snow accumulation as we move towards the winter scramble season. This beautiful counter-clockwise loop provided lots of variety (both scenery as well as skill practice) during an unexpected day in the sun.
Successful paddle around Goat Island with a stop to tour Fort Whitman.
This trek was everything we had hoped for and more! Our group of 10 did two days of acclimatization day hikes (the Four Ruins walk and a hike up Pachatusan Mountain), one overnight acclimatization hike (to the Waqrapukara 'Horned Fortress') and a 7-day trek around Ausangate. Our support team was amazing, the group was strong, and we had mostly blue sky weather though we had snow for short periods twice which did not impact our trip.
