Please check local regulations for: Mount Baker Wilderness
The Portals mark the dramatic and endpoint of the Ptarmigan Ridge Trail, offering some of the most stunning and remote views in the Mount Baker Wilderness. Located approximately 5 miles from the Artist Point Trailhead, The Portals are a pair of rocky spires that frame the backdrop of Mount Baker's Coleman Glacier and the surrounding alpine landscape. At the foot of The Portals is a flat, rocky plateau which also serves as a remote climbers camp, but is a nice place for day hikers to drop their packs, enjoy a snack, and take in the amazing views before heading back down the Ptarmigan Ridge Trail.
