The Chuckanut Ridge Trail follows a ridge in the center of Larrabee State Park, that connects the trails on the front of Chuckanut Mountain with the trails and lakes on the back.
From the North Chuckanut Mountain Trailhead, hike 1.2 miles up Hemlock Trail to the North Lost Lake intersection. Then hike 1 mile up North Lost Lake Trail to where the 3 mile long Chuckanut Ridge Trail begins. With great views of Baker in the east and the lower British Columbia mountains to the north, hikers are hard pressed to be bored on this hike.
Hike all the way to Cyrus Gates overlook -- about 5 miles -- and either end on Cleator Road or continue to a viewpoint at the end of the road.
