 Mount Baker National Park has many trails that lead to premier alpine habitat with unique wildflower gardens and wildlife. Destinations are quite dependent upon snow level. We’ll give more details in July  and at the 4th Class. Itinerary may change.

 Special emphasis on this trip will be lichens, ferns and pollinators in addition to alpine ecology.
