Mt Baker
We initially made another attempt to traverse Shuksan Arm; this time from the west end near the ski area. That failed again so we opted for plan B. Normally, the hike to Hontoon Point is less than 1 mile and 100' of gain but with the road to Artist Point closed, the distance is about 4 miles and 1000' of gain. The path passes several nice little tarns and ends at a high point with dramatic views of both Shuksan and Baker. The trail from the ski area parking lot was frozen in the morning and the lower sections were slushy or muddy in the after noon.
