Jack and Amy 's Washington State Trip

Lookout Mountain Forest Preserve and
Stimpson Family Nature Reserve
Whatcom County, WA

I am going back in history a bit for this Blog post!  

Back in January before the COVID-19 Pandemic and the week before the flooding of our home, I joined Amy on a trip out to Washington State.  Here are a few photos from Day 5 of my Washington State hiking adventures.

Stimpson Family Nature Reserve


The most amazing thing about the Stimpson Nature Reserve was the size of the trees.  There are not a whole lot of views, but if you admire and respect big trees, you will love this place.  The trails meander through an amazing old growth forest full of these towering 400+ year old treasures!
 Photos just do not do justice to the amazing trees of the Stimpson Nature Reserve!
