Sightseeing
Artist Point up on Mt. Baker is perhaps the best viewpoint in the whole state. During the summer guests can drive up to the viewing area, in the winter it is a relatively easy snowshoe hike. Highly Recommended.

Picture Lake on Mt. Baker is a must see. It’s an easy 0.5 mile ADA accessible flat walk around the lake on a well maintained path. Views of Mt. Shuksan across the lake make a picture perfect vista.
