Where would you like to start? There's so much to choose from! Would you like to take a scenic tour of the San Juan Islands? (Very popular!) Check out the ferry routes and times.

Perhaps you'd like to take a trip up world-famous Chuckanut Drive ? This cliff-hugging route has been the backdrop to many car commercials. You'll find sweeping coastal views throughout the drive. Be sure to stop in at Larabee state park, site of some of the most fascinating sandstone formations you'll ever see.

Or maybe you'd care to journey east on Hwy 20 up to the North Cascades National Forest, a year-around scenic wildlife corridor. Breathtaking views of the Baker Dam, Ross lake, and Washington Pass. You could experience the eagle migration of the Upper Skagit River, which happens every winter in February (over 400 eagles were counted last winter!) Check out the Upper Skagit Bald Eagle Festival.

One of my personal favorites is to get out to Samish Island during the low tides. You can walk for miles, and in season you can still harvest a few geoducks (the big clams with the long necks) It's great fun for the whole family.

And don't forget to visit Deception Pass bridge, and the Deception Pass state park. The views are incredible from the bridge, so bring your camera, and your family, too. There's lots to see and do down on the beaches.

There's just so many places to explore in Skagit County! I can't count them all for you, but I can provide you with links to various websites that will help you to see just what's in store for you when you come to Skagit Valley!
