Rambled around the Sehome Hill Arboretum Saturday morning as part of a larger loop up from Fairhaven, through the arboretum and back around along the South Bay Trail. It is a nice bit of second growth forest just east of the Western Washington University campus. Also not to miss are the spectacular views from the observation tower and a peek through the tunnel.
Main parking/access is from the south right as you turn into the WWU campus, but there are many other trails that crisscross and provide access from the north end as well. A nice loop through the arboretum is a little over 2 miles, but you can add more distance, (and water views,) by dropping off the hill to the west at Fairhaven or Bellingham down to the South Bay trail.
