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.
