Peace Arch State Park

Made a visit to Peace Arch State Park this week, one of the three state parks in Whatcom County. Located right along the Washington- Canada border in Blaine. You can walk through the Peace Arch and wander around the grounds. Stroll through the pretty gardens and admire the nice landscaping of the park. You will need a Discover Pass to visit the park, but if you don't have one there are several free State Park days, and I also noticed two 15 minute free spots in the parking lot.
     If you are hungry after your visit to the park and you like great Diner food check out Big Als Diner right next to the entrance to the park. It's a cute old-fashioned Diner with plenty of booths. They serve breakfast all day and they have the best biscuits and gravy I have ever eaten.

Getting to Peace Arch State Park- Take 1-5 N to exit 276 at the traffic circle continue straight onto 2nd street. You will pass Big Als Diner on the way.
