Baker and Bellingham Bay keep the scenery as dynamic as the terrain.

Expect smooth singletrack, rocky ridges, steep switchbacks, and breathtaking views of lakes, mountains, and ocean. Runners share trails with hikers, equestrians, and cyclists, making for a vibrant community day in the Chuckanuts.
