For an unforgettable adventure, take a day hike or backpack from Artist Point along the stunning Ptarmigan Ridge Trail, where fall foliage line the rocky path. With jaw-dropping views of Mount Baker and Coleman Pinnacle, you’ll enjoy a thrilling trek that’s never boring—crossing ridges, snowfields (?), and talus slopes. It's a high-altitude playground with endless rewards!
6am Ash Way Park and ride
Alternatively, you can meet me at Ptarmigan Trailhead 9am (I may try to book a stay at bakes Lodge for the night if its open?).
