      • Obstruction Pass Park (beautiful beach during high tide). Entrance to park is 30-min walk from our place.
      • Coho preserve, nice short hike next to creek/cascades. The entrance to park is a 40-min walk from our place, right next to Lascaux Cafe and Buck Bay. Fun to go there before or after eating.
      • Mountain Lake to top of Mt Constitution. Beautiful lake views and then amazing views of Mt Baker, Lummi Island, and other islands at the top of the mountain. Best on a non-cloudy day.
      • Walk around Mountain Lake. Fun to see the islands inside the lake. Also would be cool to kayak here. I think they rent kayaks too.
