Point Whitehorn Trail

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Accessible	0.8 Miles One-way	1,837 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: "The first 0.7 miles of the Point Whitehorn Trail is fully accessible with viewpoints looking over the Strait of Georgia and San Juan Islands. The final 0.1 mile is a steep switchback descending from the bluff to a rocky windswept beach."
