We'll start from somewhere in Seattle/Eastside around 6 AM, with additional carpool locations as needed. Artist Point is a spectacularly beautiful area, and the hike will take us breathtakingly close and directly into Mount Baker's face.
If the snow hasn't cleared from the ridge by the day of our hike, we'll make a right turn after inspecting the conditions, and proceed on the Chain Lakes Loop instead - which is equally spectacular!
We'll hike at an easy pace, and have a fun hike, taking time to enjoy the views and take pictures. Optional dinner/social on the way back.
