Leader's notes

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!

Meeting place and time
