White Salmon Road

Located just below Mount Baker Ski area, in the winter this road is suitable for snowshoe and cross country ski. No sno-park is necessary but parking is very limited. At the start, White Salmon road curves downhill, and Mount Shuksan dominates the view at the end of the road. An optional connector trail which connects the road to White Salmon Lodge can be done on snowshoe.

getting there

Drive East on SR-542 ~51 miles from I-5 in Bellingham to White Salmon Road (Forest Road 3075) that heads north. At the hairpin turn (3,450 ft.), there is a plowed space enough for half a dozen cars. Do not park along the road.
