This is by Western Washington Uni. There is a tower to climb and the view of parts of Belllingham is awesome. A romantic hike as this trail is not as popular as Whatcom Falls Park.

Easy trail, runs behind the WWU campus. Great view from the observation tower. Fun walking through the tunnel!

The view from the tower at the top of the hill is very nice, and there are trails that lead various places. If you want a good aerobic hike, you can park at the very bottom by the gate and hike up to the top. Lush vegetation is a feast for the eyes at various times of the year.

This is a lovely area to go for a walk or run. There are a number of interconnecting trails in a lush, beautiful landscape on the edge of the university. This is a great place to spend an hour or two in the forest, very close to downtown.

OK as an arboretum you might think you'll see a lot of exotic tree and shrub species. It's not that sort of place..more native plant oriented but the trails are good and the viewpoint structure is a nice touch.

Sehome hill is laced with many trails. At the top is a lookout point with a good view of the city.
