Craig Romano talks about his newest guidebook, “Urban Trails Bellingham.” It is one of the first guidebooks in a new series on trails that are close to Bellingham. The series is aimed at those of us looking for an accessible nature outing — trails we can get to quickly, via public transportation or a short drive, that offer a quality outdoor experience without the need for special gear or major effort.
These are trails perfect for families, first-time users, or athletes looking for a quick fix after work. Urban Trails Bellingham focuses on the trails and parks in and around Bellingham, including the Chuckanut Mountains and Skagit Valley.
We chat about the trails in Anacortes and Mount Vernon as well as the Chukanuts. If you live in Whatcom or Skagit counties then this book will be perfect for the days you need to find a hike close to home!
