Halverson Park

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Easy	0.5 Miles Round-trip	1,015 est.

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

As the Whatcom County Parks website notes: "A Small Rustic Park Near Birch Bay. Big trees provide a pleasant natural space near Birch Bay." Park in the nearby Cottonwood Beach lot and follow Cedar avenue to the park.
