Mount Baker - Nearby Destinations

|
Bellingham
|
Population: 67,000
|
|
| |
Bellingham is a moderately sized, tree-lined city that shoulders up to
Bellingham Bay. Visitors who find the often wet but decidedly mild
temperatures of Bellingham more to their liking can still enjoy views
of the bay from waterfront parks, or catch the peak of Mt Baker rising
above the lesser mountains to the east of the city. There are also
regular services linking Bellingham to the San Juan Islands and
Victoria B.C. |

North Cascades National Park
|
|
|
| |
Jagged snow-dusted peaks, glaciers, waterfalls and shadowy valleys
compete for attention in North Cascades National Park. Glacially cold
Ross Lake spills over into Canada at the north end, a popular
destination for canoers and kayakers. Lake Chelan noses into the
south tail of the park, and visitors can connect by boat down to
Chelan. Traversed by 386 miles of hiking trails and dotted with
designated backcountry campsites, North Cascades serves up solitude
with mountain scenery. |

San Juan Islands
|
|
|
| |
Low tide in the San Juan Islands leaves 786 islands dry; few of that
number are named and fewer still inhabited. San Juan Island, Orcas
Island, and Lopez Island have the largest year-round populations and
can be reached by ferry. Whales spouting offshore, orca-sightings and
beautiful seascapes keep the area flush with visitors during the
summer. The San Juan Islands offer protected inlets, islets and
regular breezes, making the area popular with sailors and sea-kayakers
alike. |

|
|
Whidbey Island
|
|
|
| |
Forests drop down to hidden coves, rocky beaches and steep cliffs at
Whidbey Island's edges. Connected to the Washington mainland by a
bridge spanning spectacular Deception Pass, this island is a popular
Puget Sound getaway for visitors up on the ferry from Seattle, or down
by road from the north. Despite the fact that the island is so easily
accessible, Whidbey Island is a worthwhile stop, crowds or no. |
