Artist Point Snowshoe — Thursday, Apr. 24, 2025

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area
Artist Point Snowshoe by Shellyf

Arrived around 10:30am on a sunny Thursday to the parking lot that only had a handful of cars.

I started out wearing just my boots and holding my snowshoes as I wasn’t sure what was needed. The snow was getting soft and I was slipping around so decided to put on my snowshoes which gave more traction and I was able to move quicker. Depending on the route you take there are parts that are groomed which is helpful if you go without snowshoes.

There was only a few people up at Artist and Huntoon point. Had a nice view to myself for a snack before heading down. More people were starting to come up as I got closer to the parking lot.

There was barely any wind and the sun was in full force. Sunglasses were definitely needed as well as sunscreen.

Bathrooms were open but not stocked so bring your own TP.
