This viewpoint over the mountains and Ross Lake is breathtaking. It is also the merging of the East Bank Trail and the Pacific Northwestern Trail.

North Cascades National Park has the most extensive glacial system in the contiguous United States, with over 300 glaciers. There are over 400 miles of trail here, home to black bears, mountain goats, mule deer, and over 200 species of birds. These mountain ranges are sometimes called the "American Alps," with awe-inspiring mountain peaks at a lower elevation.

This spectacular road bike climb up the Mount Baker Highway from Glacier, culminating at Artist Point is a truly memorable ascent in the North Cascades. The highway is excellent for your road bike, although the final few miles to Artist Point are narrow and winding and typically only open from summer through early autumn depending on snowpack. Over approximately 22 to 24 miles, you'll gain around 4,400 to 4,700 feet at a relatively gentle average gradient of 3.2-3.5%, a long but steady effort. As you climb, the scenery is breathtaking, transitioning from dense forests alongside the Nooksack River to open alpine meadows with increasingly incredible, close-up views of the majestic Mt. Baker and dramatic Mt. Shuksan peaks, making the effort to reach the stunning Artist Point vista well worth it.

Huntoon Point is a popular viewpoint located near Artist Point in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington. The hike to Huntoon Point is via a short and accessible trail that begins at the Artist Point parking area. The route is approximately 1.5 miles round trip with minimal elevation gain. During the summer and fall, the trail features colorful wildflowers and vibrant autumn foliage. From the summit of Huntoon Point, you get breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Baker, Mount Shuksan, and the surrounding North Cascades. Early mornings or weekdays are recommended for visiting to avoid crowds, especially during peak summer and fall seasons.

Lakes Loop Hike This beautiful loop hike has it all: big views of Baker and Shuksan mountains and the North Cascades, alpine lakes for swimming, and a well-maintained trail that winds through meadows and heather. And with wildflowers in the spring, blueberry bushes for trail snacks in late summer, and glowing colors in the fall, you can't pick a bad time of year to visit.

At this point of the Pacific Crest Trail you get absolutely staggering views of the Northern Cascades. From the ridgeline the mountain sweeps down away from you on either side and you get dramatic views north toward Robinson Mountain.

Situated at 1,410 feet, Chuckanut Mountain belongs to the Chuckanuts, or Chuckanut Mountains, which are part of the Cascades. This area is particularly special, as it is the only place where the Cascade Mountain Range descends to the sea. The summit can be reached via an out-and-back or loop trail without ever being too steep to keep up a good pace!
