This flat loop ride takes in the very fertile agricultural fields of the Skagit River delta. Much of the ride is atop dikes along the two forks of the river that form Fir Island in between them. This ride is easily at its best in April, when hundreds of acres of the valley are covered with blooming tulips and daffodils of every conceivable color. Traffic is also at its peak during the Tulip Festival. A side trip to the town of La Conner is worthwhile any time of year. Views of the Cascades and especially Mt Baker are outstanding.
