This is quasi out and back trip with a stop for breakfast in Fairhaven. The backbone of the trip is the Interurban Trail, though the way we will travel will be varied as we have side trail options that we will explore.
NOTE: We will stop in Fairhaven for a social brunch before returning to our trailhead.
We will meet at the North Chuckanut Mountain Trailhead. Plan to arrive before 8:30 and be geared up and ready for our trailhead talk at 8:30. There is a porta potty at this location or you can stop at the Pine and Cedar Trailhead on North Samish Way, on the way to the trailhead.
