Jensen Family Forest Park

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Accessible	0.7 Miles Loop	1,607 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

Per the Whatcom County Parks website: "Once part of a farm owned by the Jensen family the park was made possible with the generous donation of a public easement by Don and Judith Jensen. This quiet area provides a year-round accessible trail through a beautiful wooded tract of mature Douglas firs."

An Essential

Signal

Forests can be thick, but there are ways to get help if you’re lost. Keep a whistle and a metal mirror handy. Also, wear bright colors so rescuers can spot you easily.
