"Went up here on a run around Bellingham, surprisingly good views and cool rocks below and around the summit area. Overall rating 5/10, worth a visit if in Bellingham looking for some sightseeing" — MountainQuest • Aug 19, 2019

"My buddy Paul and I did a traverse of the Chuckanuts via the Pacific Northwest Trail as an ultra run. It was a absolutely gorgeous day and the view from Oyster Dome was a great way to wrap it up." — Al-Rashid • Jan 4, 2018

"After realizing I've hiked and biked hundreds of miles since the last time I reached any kind of peak, I decided today was the day to change that. I got a late start but I'd been wanting to visit the Chuckanuts, so I decided to cruise up north and see if I could get a few little peaks in. I drove up to the Cyrus Gates Overlook and arrived just below the summit of Chuckanut Mountain around 4 in the afternoon. You have a fantastic view of the San Juan Islands from the overlook. The view from the summit just a tenth of a mile above the parking lot is not as great. You can get some peeks to the east through the trees, but nothing nearly as spectacular as the view from the overlook. Next I took the Rock Trail down to the Lost Lake Trail. The rock trail is a fairly new trail that had a ton of work put into it. Switch backing down the steep southeastern slope, well over a hundred stairs take you to the connecting point with Lost Lake Trail. On the way you travel between boulders and along massive sandstone walls with various indentations, caves, and holes that make the wall look like swiss cheese in places. Much praise to the WTA crew that constructed this trail for everyone..." — Al-Rashid • Jul 26, 2014
