Things to See in Mount Baker
Two of the most rewarding hikes in the Mount Baker area actually originate not in the Heather Meadows/Artist Point area, but off side roads 1 mile east of the town of Glacier.
These are the 5-mile round-trip Heliotrope Ridge Trail (off Forest Service Rd. 39) and the 7-mile round-trip Skyline Divide Trail (off Forest Service Rd. 37).
