Interurban Trail over Chuckanut Bay

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

Today it wasn’t supposed to rain until the afternoon, so Chance and I took to the trails. We went to the Interurban Trail which connects the historic Fairhaven District to Larrabee State Park on a former railroad bed. It’s supposed to be an easy trail except for a steep canyon section through Arroyo Park. We skipped that part and parked at California Ave, at the North Chuckanut Trailhead south of Old Samish Highway on Chuckanut Drive. The trails overlooks the Chuckanut Bay and San Juan Islands. It’s densely wooded so difficult to get a nice clear picture of the view. 

I’m jealous of the house on Clark Point. It has a panoramic view of the Puget Sound and islands. 

 I had a difficult time getting a picture of Governor Point. There is also an island is Chuckanut Bay. 

There was a landslide of sandstone rock that had been cleaned off the trail in 2 spots. There were several waterfall points along the mountainside where water drainage was controlled to certain points. Chance hated the sound of the water. 

Chance and I walked and jogged around 2.5 miles down the trail. We stopped at the road to took up to hike to Fragrance Lake in Larrabee State Park a few weeks ago. We ran most of the way back, only to stop to snap a few more photos. I’m sure gonna be sore tomorrow after 5 miles.
