Description
Galbraith Mt. is located In Bellingham, WA. between Lakeway Dr. to the north, Yew St. to the west and Samish Dr. on the south. The most distinguishing feature on the mountain is a tall stand of trees at the top that was left untouched after the most recent logging. The trails up at the top can be accessed either from Whatcom Falls park on the north or Galbraith Lane on the south side. This area is full of single track, double track and dirt roads. It would take many trips to explore them all. Elevation gain is about 800'. An excellent resource is Galbraithmtn.com which has some very good maps, photos and route descriptions.

Review: There is something for everybody on Galby. If you find yourself trying something out of your comfort zone, nearly everything is rollable. There is lots of climbing but it is well worth it. I would recommend a full-suspension but it is doable on a hardtail.
Review: Amazing cross country riding. 40 miles of sweet single track. Easy to find your way around without getting lost. Absolute must ride in NW
Review: I hope the pending sale of Galby results in better bike trails.
Review: I've been riding on Galbraith for 14 years and it has become bigger and better every year. 40+ miles of single track. Something for everyone who is an advanced-beginner or better. Can be confusing so purchase a map at a local bike shop.

Review: Many miles and many different types of trails. Unlimited posabillities to link trails together. Very fun. I hope it does'nt get closed.
Review: awesome network of trails. seems to be muddy a lot, but who cares? some sweet technical and mostly down hill once you get to your desired trail head. love it.
Review: XCountry and flowing downhill. Can be technical at times, optional go-arounds for all jumps and drops.
Review: This is the best all around trail riding in the state! Has a little bit of everything including DH/FR style riding with manmade stunts and drops. But also has good singletrack/XC riding. Always something new and has some great views of Bellingham.

Review: Awesome trail, best I've been on
Review: The trail builders do a great job keeping Galbraith fun and challenging. Something for everyone here. Visit a local bike shop to get a map and advice. Both access points will bring you to fun trails.

Review: This place has it all! Way under rated for what it has to offer. It has leg scorching climbs, technical, and for awesome downhill hit Cheech and Chongs revenge! Great Place!
Review: Something challenging for everyone! Check out Lake Padden to the south as well.
Review: great trails some of the best the north west has to offer. and this is from somebody who has ridden in moab
Review: This network of trails has it all! Ive ridden there an many occasions and find it more and more challenging each time. It is kinda rough on a hardtail due to roots but a little bike handling skill will get you past that. I like chutes and ladders as my favorite. Definitely chack this place out, its worth the drive form Lake Stevens, or Seattle for that matter.
