Off the beaten path to Bellingham
Nestled between the Chuckanut Mountains and the serene water of Puget Sound lies a hidden, picturesque drive just off the beaten path of the I-5 corridor.
Sightseers in cars, bikes and motorcycles take the path less traveled on this scenic stretch of road that hugs the edge of the emerald foothills above. These roughly 21 miles of road are a haven for hikers and casual visitors who find its winding trails, above and below, a worthy destination.
Whether it鈥檚 a weekend getaway to take in the views of the San Juan Islands, to experience the local culture or to take an alternative route north, Chuckanut Drive offers a unique detour off the freeway. Best of all, it is only a three-hour jaunt from Tacoma on the way to Bellingham or the Canadian border.
