Loomis, Washington

The Washington-British Columbia border is full of tiny towns and Loomis is one of the smallest and more unknown of the lot.

A nearby highlight is Thirtymile Ridge, a trail frequented by hikers and backpackers that you could probably venture a guess as to the length.

If you are exploring Washington’s border towns, Loomis is definitely on the list.
