Sehome hill arboretum
The Sehome Hill Arboretum is one the shortest hikes in Bellingham, but it has a lot to offer. The attractions that get the most attention include:
- Quiet rocks- Just between two portions of the Huntoon trail below the watch tower, are the quiet rocks. Whether just for a few seconds or for the entire day, you can visit and sit and let all of the stress of the day wash away and listen to the sounds of nature.
- The Outdoor Classroom- Many forward facing benches aiming towards a platform compose an outdoor classroom. This can be used by anyone on a first come first serve basis. Bring lunch and good company and create a unique dining experience.
-The Watch Tower- Built at the top of Sehome Hill is the lookout tower, this three story open faced tower that looks over the greater Bellingham area. This is a great place to watch the sunset over the bay and listen to the sounds of nature.
The Sehome Arboretum is an excellent hike to bring your dog along as long as it is on a leash!
This fun trail is open from 6AM-10PM
