Oyster Dome hike satisfies craving for Salish Sea views

Welcome to the Oyster Dome. Judging by the scores of people on this trail in Skagit County, Washington, it's Bellingham's version of the Grouse Grind.

We turned our trip into a very enjoyable loop by visiting Lily Lake and returning to the Chuckanut Drive trailhead via quiet sections of Pacific Northwest Trail. Even a clearcut on the way back couldn't dampen our enthusiasm. My GPS app reports our trip covered a distance of 14 kilometres and an elevation gain of over 700 metres.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
