Walk 2/4 Whatcom Falls Park & Bellingham Lunch
We began at Bloedel-Donovan Park on the shores of Lake Whatcom


Typical trail conditions--maybe an inch of snow, packed down by others tracks.


Good traction was essential at times, whenever the trail had an up- or downhill.


A quiet stretch of creek here, where a small dam backs up Derby Pond


Caught a nice glimpse of a varied thrush near the Whatcom Falls Bridge


Surveying the main feature, Whatcom Falls.


The 25-foot falls was beautifully accented by the snow and ice around it.


The history of the park dates back about 100 years. People have been drawn to this spot for a long time.


The classic stone bridge was built by the Works Progress Administration in 1939


A nice stretch of snowy trail along Whatcom Creek


More views of the creek canyon. The area has recovered nicely from a 1999 gas pipeline explosion

Snow on the sword ferns


Da Vinci's Classic Subs was our lunch stop. Outstanding neighborhood shop.
