Chuckanut Drive meanders along the waters of Bellingham Bay and Samish Bay with sweeping vistas of the San Juan Islands in the west. There will be some photo, and comfort stops along the way.

 

The ride begins by cruising north on Highway 9 through Arlington, Big Lake, Clear Lake and Sedro-Woolley. There will be a comfort stop in Sedro-Woolley. Next, we will head up to Bellingham along the western shore of Lake Whatcom, the 4th largest lake in Washington. As we head up Yew Street road, check your mirrors behind and to the North to view the Canadian Coastal Range in British Columbia.

 

Next, we make another comfort stop at Lake Padden Park. Bellingham has over 40 city parks and each one has its own specialty. Finally, we begin our tour of Chuckanut Drive. We will go single file here so that everyone can enjoy the vistas and navigate the twisty corners. There will be photo opportunities.

 

Next up will be the flat farm country in Skagit County. We will cruise through Bow-Edison and work our way over to Conway, Stanwood and Silvana before returning to Sound Harley-Davidson.
