Upcoming Special Events

RV Trips
As you are making reservations, please contact the trip leader so they know who is planning to attend and can coordinate with the RV Park if there are any questions by the RV park.
You don’t have to have an RV to have fun with the RV/Camping group! Although, we stay in state and city parks and RV resorts/campgrounds, most events are in places where members without RV's can stay in cabins, hotels/motels or B&B's. We have several couples and individuals who take advantage of the fun by staying close by the park in other accommodations. If you like walking, hiking, bicycling, kayaking/canoeing, fishing, and group tours of interesting places in the area, come join us.

Hiking
Five day hiking Nooksack River and Mount Baker September 15-19 Have you ever wanted to hike in the Nooksack River and Mount Baker area? This is your chance. Steve Ghan is organizing a Fun Fit and Over Fifty Club camp and hike there for September 15-19.
You can reserve cabins or campsites for those dates at Silver Lake Park, which is 5 miles from the Mount Baker Highway and 30 miles from the Mount Baker Ski area. We encourage tent campers to reserve sites in Cedar Campground and RV campers to reserve in Maple Creek Campground. Most campsites in Cedar Campground have space for up to six people and double campsites for up to twelve, so check with Steve Ghan if you want to share a site with others. Reservations go fast in June, so we recommend reserving your site before June. If you register late and find that all campsites are taken, contact Steve to learn who you can share a campsite with. Please notify Steve when you register so he can keep a list of participants for the purpose of communication and arranging carpooling and campsite sharing.
Below is a list, with links to WTA descriptions, for a dozen spectacular hikes that will be on the menu for this trip. Distances range from 2.4 miles to 10 miles round trip, and elevation gains from 220 to 2800 feet. We’ll meet every morning and then lead three different trips on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and a bonus hike along the trip home. We’ll have hardcopy descriptions and maps for each hike.
So, mark these dates on your calendars! For questions and commitments, contact Steve at [email protected]. Note that this trip will be cancelled if less than 20 people sign up
Horseshoe Bend. 2.4 miles RT 220’ gain along Nooksack River.
Table Mountain. 2.6 miles RT, 725’ gain. Views of Mount Baker, Ptarmigan Ridge, and the Chain Lakes from above Artist Point.
Welcome Pass. 4.6 miles RT, 2800’ gain. Access to the gorgeous views along the High Divide, a nice option for those looking for a workout.
Oyster Dome. 5 miles, 1000’ gain. Commanding views of the San Juans, Skagit River flats, Olympic Mountains, and Samish Bay. Good for the trip to or from Nooksack.
Heliotrope Ridge. 5.5 miles RT 1400’ gain. The views are remarkable: you can't get any closer to Mount Baker without technical gear.
Chain Lakes Loop. 6.5 mile loop, 1800’ gain. Big views of Mounts Baker and Shuksan, and the North Cascades, alpine lakes, and meadows and heather.
Yellow Aster Butte. 7.5 miles RT 2550’ gain. Spectacular alpine vistas of Baker, Shuksan, and all those rugged and craggy peaks straddling the 49th parallel.

Skyline Divide. 9 miles RT 2500’ gain. Road washed out as of 1/25. a 6000-foot-high ridgeline extension of Mount Baker that transforms itself into a summertime paradise of unrivaled mountain views and unending wildflower fields.
Ptarmigan Ridge. 9 miles RT, 1800’ gain. Get stunningly close to the east side of Mount Baker. The way is rocky from start to finish, lined with lupine and sedges, and patches of blueberries.
Hannigan Pass and Peak. 8 miles RT 2100’ gain to pass, 10.4 miles RT 3100’ gain to peak. Spectacular mountain views, glorious alpine wildflowers, waterfalls and glaciers.
