Larrabee State Park - Rock Trail — Friday, Aug. 15, 2014

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area

`I went to the Rock trail in the Chuckanuts hoping that the low hanging clouds would linger for awhile in the morning so as to take advantage of the soft light to photograph some of the nooks and crannies along the trail. The local weather conditions held as the clouds hung around the 1500 foot level most of the morning. I did the short hike today but as with many of the trails in the Chuckanuts you can put together a variety of loops and extensions. Since the Cyrus Gates Overlook provides a hub, one can make loops from the Rock trail that include the Double Diamond, Lost Lake or the Ridge Trail. Cleator road is in better condition with a fresh layer of gravel which has filled in the previous potholes and wash board ridges.
