Chuckanut Mountain Views

Chuckanut Mountain offers fine views. From Chuckanut Drive (Highway 11), turn east on Hiline Road and continue as it turns into Cleator Road. This is a dirt road and, as of early June, was very rough with many large potholes. It would not be suitable for a sedan with low clearance.
The views are wonderful, even if trimming a few trees would make them even better. This view is to the north west with the Lummi Peninsula and then the Canadian Cascades.

This view is to the south west, showing the San Juans and Olympic Peninsula in the distance.




To the west, below Chuckanut, is Pleasant Bay.






There is a trail near the crest of the mountain that gives views to the east and the North Cascade Mountains.

I followed that trail for a short distance but I was frustrated with the number of trees blocking any clear view. The possibility of more views on that trail will have to wait for another day.
