The road-
We traveled to Heather Meadows on Baker to snowshoe Artist point / Huntoon Point.
The road is well maintained and clear of snow, there was some light ice. I saw plenty of signs that said you should carry chains but at least at this point they'er nice to have JIC, but not needed. I have a Nissan Rogue with AWD capability but I did not need it.
The trailhead-
The parking lots were full by 9am so get there early. There are open facilities onsite. If you're looking for the trailhead just keep an eye out for Table mountain near Artist point, walk that direction. You'll find the trailhead at the top corner of the upper lot.
The tail
The trail is well maintained. You will need snowshoes or you will posthole the whole way to AP.
This was my first time there. I'm glad I had my mapped GPS (Strava) because at the beginning of the hike it was useful. Initially, we followed the tracks with lead to a frozen lake. We should have stayed closer to the sound of the skiers/snowboarders (To your left on the way up).
Within the first mile or so you will see the same tapped off boarder between the trail and the runs that the skiers use. Keep that to your left. Once you get to the top of that hill all the trails go to Artist point.
If you wish to continue to Huntton point is about another quarter mile, You will see it in the distance. The view is slightly better, unobstructed views of Shuksan and Baker.
I created a YT video with more details if you would like to check it out.
