Sumas Mountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sumas Mountain (a.k.a. American Sumas) is a mountain located in Whatcom County, Washington, 15 miles northeast of Bellingham. It is a foothill of the Cascade Range, elevation (a.s.l.) 3430 feet (1045 meters), prominence 988 m, location 48°54'43.9"N and 122°13'21.0"W. It is notable for its high biodiversity and also for its year-round hiking trails. It is largely owned by the Washington Department of Natural Resources, but also by some private landholders. While the public land is open for recreation, it is managed primarily for timber harvest. Indeed, clearcuts mar the slopes, and almost all of the remaining forest is at varying stages of recovery and regrowth.
