The Whatcom Independent Mountain Pedalers (WHIMPs) created and maintained a large trail system under a 2005 contract with Trillium.

The mountain has many access points; the two most popular are from Birch Street, off of Lakeway Drive, and Galbraith Lane, off of Samish Way.

There is active logging on the flanks of the mountain, which has opened clear sight lines from the trails which criss-cross the area.

Numerous kiosks and outdoor art were placed throughout the mountain by Trillium and the WMBC, including a bike maintenance station.

Bellingham City Council voted to approve the agreement, protecting the mountain from future development.
