Bellingham Branch

Bellingham Branch

Just north of Seattle and south of Vancouver, BC, our Bellingham Branch offers a way to connect and explore with people between the mountains and the sea.

about us

The Bellingham Branch is tucked alongside the upper craggy expanse of the North Cascades. We enjoy easy access to the peaks that drain into the Nooksack and Skagit River basins. Our branch is a small and close-knit community offering climbing courses, hiking trips, and backcountry adventures in a diverse, inclusive and supportive environment. As a smaller branch, we focus on providing robust and comprehensive climbing courses, emphasizing individualized attention, building close connections, and providing increased instructor availability and accessibility.  

Visit our website BellinghamMountaineers.com for more information about the Bellingham Branch!

Courses

The Bellingham Branch's Basic Climbing Course offers the chance to reach higher peaks and learn some awesome techniques! You might even meet a few cool climbers! Check out the Basic Climbing Course page on our website for the current Schedule and Applications.

Meetings

The Branch Committee meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month and is open to all branch members and interested public. If you are interested in attending, visit our Events Calendar for details.

GET INVOLVED!

In addition to monthly branch meetings, we offer summer potlucks, training hikes, a winter speaker series and more. Sign up HERE to receive our monthly e-newsletter to keep up with branch happenings, learn about upcoming events and ways to get involved.
