Ptarmigan Ridge

Hit the trail about 1:30 the afternoon. Visibility was nearly perfect, temperature was warm but not hot and the light breeze was refreshing. The views were just as good as I had hoped and I could see all sorts of interesting ridges and peaks in addition to Shuksan and Baker.
Though the parking lot at artist point was packed, there the trail was not too crowded.
Locating and staying on the trail was fairly easy except for a few of the more barren patches where it was hard to distinguish in the rocks/gravel without looking for trail markers. Only one snow field was left and it was very easy to cross. Towards the end as I neared the glacier, mountain goats were visible on the slopes below Baker.
