Picture Lake — Saturday, Aug. 15, 2020

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

A meandering drive up Mt Baker Highway gives you a stunning view of Mt Shuksan reflected in Picture Lake. Easy stroll around the lake for photos that will leave friends and family saying “you didn’t have to upload a postcard and pass it off for real!” 

A few signs explained the lake is in transition and a meadow is developing with new forest that will eventually fill in the lake. Enjoy this breathtaking view while you can! 

Easy parking along the road. No bathrooms: the Firs lodge is closed only to guests and Heather Meadows café was also closed.
