Mountain Biking:

Galbraith Mountain is deservedly considered one of the best places to ride in the nation. It is perched just above town with panoramic views of the Cascades, BC Coast, and Vancouver Island mountains as well as the San Juan Islands and beyond and possesses miles of cross-country trails and lots of free ride options. The best and only map worth buying is by Chris Behee and distributed through the local bike shops by the local club.
