Artist Point Snowshoe — Friday, Apr. 14, 2023

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area
Looking across the snowfields towards Shuksan

Took advantage of the bluebird day and did the hike up to Artist Point- spectacular! Hwy 542 was clear to the parking lot at Heather Meadows and the trail starts just to the left of the bathroom facilities. Main route to the top was well trod and easy to follow/navigate on this clear day, used Yak Trax until about two thirds of the way up when snow became a bit mushy as the temps got warmer. Be aware that this trek can travel through avalanche terrain. A must-do adventure for incredibly rewarding panoramic mountain views, clocked 5+ miles round trip after tromping around at the top  #MemberAppreciation 

Bluebird perfection
A combo of snowshoes and Yak Trax were used on the well trod trail
Love where we live!
