Chuckanut Drive, Washington

The last time I drove up to Bellingham I decided to take the more scenic route.  Chuckanut Drive hugs the coast with beautiful views of the San Juan Islands.  It is known for its curves.

One will also see some small waterfalls along the way.

This highway is old and has not been widened.  A small car and a strong constitution are required to obtain the full pleasure of the drive.  There are several scenic pullouts provided.

There is limited access to the beach.  This is at the Larrabee State Park boat launch.

Even the railroad tracks along the shore were picturesque.

Next time you are driving north to Bellingham, try this scenic route.
