Little Mountain Park - Bonnie and Clyde Loop — Tuesday, May. 17, 2016

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area

I found this park on Google Earth and decided to check it out. It is actually a city park but I believe that it is outside the city limits of Mount Vernon. Its part of The Mount Vernon Parks Foundation. It consist of about 500 acres of which is almost all of Little Mountain. It has about 10 miles of trails for both hikers and Mountain Bikers. I hike about 7 miles of it today. Trails are in great shape except for Taylor's Trail which needs lots of work. Its overgrown and the trail sign is missing from the southeast end of the trail so I missed the cutoff and had to double back. You can find a nice map of this park attached to the park signs in the park or go to "LittleMountainPark.org". These is some nice trails for mountain bikes. There are two views points at the top. One looks north toward Mount Vernon and the other Southwest toward Skagit Valley Farm Land. You will here the sound of I-5 on the west side and the city of Mount Vernon on the north side trails but most of the noise is gone on the east and south side trails. You definitely feel like you are out in the wilderness. Come check it out. The top of the mountain has parking and picnic benches if you want to make a family outing of it. Checkout the videos of this hike on my you tube channel at "lmm3181" or over 350 other hikes I have done in Washington State or click on the direct links below. As always get out and see this beautiful state! Take Care, Mike
