Great Trail network in Sudden Valley with the parking lot less than 2 miles from lookout Mountain lodge. There are loops that you can do here that are short and long. The trail forks app is a good one to have while hiking or mountain biking that shows maps of trails and allows you to navigate them with info on distance elevation etc and also shows access points. The whatcom county website has a description of the trails. It also connects to Galbraith Mountain which is a world class mountain biking destination with great views. Galbraith is the northern end of lookout mountain. Cougar ridge is a great mountain biking trail accessible from here.

Nice hiking and mtb trails. The Hertz trail is an easy flat one that hugs the lake and the Chanterelle trail is another one that starts in the same parking lot that goes up Stewart Mountain to the scenic Chanterelle overlook. This trail is a shared bike and hike trail on the way up but bikes are not allowed down. Bikes can take Brown Pow a challenging Mtb trail or the truck road back down. There are plans to connect these upper trails in a loop back to the hertz trail that currently are slated to happen in late 2022 or 2023.

Sightseeing
Amazing viewpoint with panoramic views on Blanchard Mountain just 30 minutes from Lookout Mountain Lodge. There are hiking and mountain biking trails that depart from here. On the road up there are trail heads as well. .Because of some steep sections, a high clearance vehicle is recommended to get here if possible.
