Join the Mount Baker Sierra Club for a walk through the forest at Stimpson Family Nature Preserve, a remarkable tract of old forest easily accessible from Bellingham. Having escaped intensive logging in the 20th century, this special place is home to Douglas-firs over a century old and diverse other plants, animals, and fungi. In the fall, Stimpson Reserve is an ideal place to look for mushrooms, salamanders, and other moisture-loving forest creatures. We'll take our time on the trail, pausing to admire whatever organisms we find.

This trail is routed by All Trails as easy. Our route, which includes both the Main Loop and Geneva Pond Loop, is about 4.9 miles and includes around 300 feet of elevation gain. Please note that dogs and other pets aren't allowed on this trail.

We will meet at 10:00am in the Stimpson Family Nature Reserve parking area.

The purpose of this outing is to support the Sierra Club's mission . You do not need to be a member of the Sierra Club to join us, yet we highly encourage you to show your support. For more information about becoming a member of the Sierra Club, please click here .
