This activity is reserved for those staying at Baker Lodge. You must make a reservation there before registering for this activity.
We will be walking at a leisurely pace along a portion of the Chain Lake Loops Trail and a small bit of the Ptarmigan Ridge Trail before turning back to Artist Point.
This trail has a narrow path with sheer drop-offs, so you must have good balance. Trekking poles are also a good idea. You MUST have your 10 essentials (including a first aid kit)!
As for camera gear, keep it as light and simple as possible (you probably don't want to bring your tripod.
Meet near the kiosk sign at the Artist Point parking lot at 9am
