Hi Jennifer! I just love your videos. And when you said "maybe the forest is breathing" because of the mist, I almost cried. I love trees, so the forest is a very special and magical place for me and the thought of it breathing only makes it that much better. Thank you for taking us on such a beautiful hike with you. The views from the top were spectacular. Be safe and God bless!!

[@JenniferLupine]

Ann, thanks for your support, and nice comments - it means so much to me that you enjoy the forest and the views. It’s really wonderful to be able appreciate nature 🌺🌺🌸🌸 God bless !!

The woods are so awesome. Loved the views and the trails.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thank you! It was great to get out and stretch the legs, on a day with no rain 😊😊🥾🥾

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Very cool trail. So beautiful with all the ferns on the trail. Those trees are amazing. The lower view point was incredible. ✌️

[@JenniferLupine]

Thank you! It wasn’t quite a full sun day, but with no rain it was well worth the effort- it’s amazing here when the sun comes out!🌞🌞 Have a great day!

[@ManzanoMan_Adventures]

Trails that start off steep like this sure does warms up the body quick. The views were worth climbing up to have a look around. Thanks for taking us along.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thank you ManzanoMan! Thanks for watching - I love the views over the water! always great to hear from you! Have a good week!

[@nicksangetta8874]

[@anthonypayne1]

It’s easy to see why this is a popular trail Jennifer, the views from the top were stunning 👍👍👍

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks for stopping by Anthony - great to hear from you 😊 It was a bit windy up there so couldn’t stay too long- I’ll love to go back when it’s sunny and warmer 👍👍

[@JenniferLupine]

[@BackpackerDiaries]

Nice! My favorite Bellingham area hike; love those ocean views! When I was there in December years ago I got to see the sunset before walking back in the dark. Glad I brought my headlamp.

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi- that sounds so awesome!! I can imagine how peaceful and quiet it was... and I bet you had an amazing sunset 🌞 Have a great week 🥾🥾

[@BackpackerDiaries]

@@JenniferLupine actually I ran in to a couple of folks on the way down who did not have a working flashlight; and there was a couple of steeper more slippery spots on the trail during my visit. As far as I know they made it down safely.

[@JenniferLupine]

@@BackpackerDiaries Whew, it does get dark early in the winter, maybe 4:30, and it starts to get dark about 3:30, especially in the forest, so it can catch people by surprise! Good story - thanks!

[@waterfallmadman]

Gorgeous hike through the forest and nice ocean views. Beautiful.

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks! We were fortunate to have a day with no rain 😊 I saw you have a new video up too- I’m about to head over and check it out 👍👍🥾🥾

[@RutMoe]

The trees are amazing. 2000 feet of elevation gain will take the wind out of you. Super specatular views.👍👍👍

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks for stopping by Rut Moe- I think you would like the drive on Chuckanut Drive, but ok would have to drive a car, large trucks are too big and not allowed ... it’s a fun drive in a sports car 😊😊

[@cnybackpacker4503]

Love them views, nice dense forest with some natural sounds, great video Jen

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks for watching! great to hear from you - hope you’re doing well in NY! We’re hoping spring isn’t too far away 😊😊🥾🥾

[@BeCCaWhere2GoNext]

Very beautiful trail! A mile after the 'pretty Woody' area and then you got the peaceful water view and back to green! Thanks for taking us with you!❤️

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks Becca! The view is really worth the hike up 😊😊

[@threefingersfolly6044]

Now, that's a hike !!

[@BryanDeLay]

More great views of the sound and another beautiful forest Jennifer. Are the western hemlocks dying from the hemlock wooly adelgid like the hemlocks in the southern Appalachians?

[@JenniferLupine]

Hi Bryan - so far, as far as I know, we don’t have any local issues affecting Western Hemlocks... but there a ‘pine bark beetle’ problem in E Washington - can they treat your Hemlocks at all?

[@BryanDeLay]

That's very interesting Jennifer, because the hemlock wooly adelgid came from Japan into Washington state and worked its way across country to the southern Appalachians. Yes, they are treating some of the hemlocks in the Great Smoky Mountains NP, but there are hundreds of thousands hemlocks dying in the area. They are such beautiful trees and so sad to see 500 hundred year old hemlocks dying.

[@JenniferLupine]

@@BryanDeLay I’ll do some further checking on it - I agree that’s so sad to see the lovely old trees dying... We just don’t notice Hemlock trees dying in our local woods...

[@JenniferLupine]

Thanks so much ManzanoMan - I’m practicing for higher elevations in New Mexico!! Have a great week 🥾🥾

[@ManzanoMan_Adventures]

@@JenniferLupine Oh that is awesome. New Mexico has some great hiking.
