Oyster Dome - Bellingham Washington Trail Runs

The Oyster Dome loop offers the runner an easily accessible workout on forested hills with incredible views any time of year. Samish Bay, the San Juan Islands, and the Olympic Peninsula are well presented within 1000 feet of climbing. The run starts and ends on the Pacific Northwest Trail (labeled PNT on the signs). When completed, this trail will extend from Washington’s west coast well into Montana. It’s unclear how the trail will cross Puget Sound, but you can’t go much farther west on this part of the trail without falling into Samish Bay.
