    Hiking

    Yellow Aster Butte is a popular summit located in the Mount Baker Wilderness. Known for its wildflower meadows, beautiful alpine tarns (small alpine lakes), and amazing views of Mount Shuksan, Mount Baker, and other surrounding peaks, the trail ends at a ridge with breathtaking vistas. The trail up to the summit of Yellow Aster Butte is steep and exposed at sections, but is typically snow-free from late summer through early fall (though snow can linger well into July). Hikers should check trail conditions and be prepared for changing weather.
