This 62-mile spur road winds through mountain towns and awesome hiking trails. The area has plenty to offer, including a renowned ski resort. Here are a few fun facts about Mount Baker. After you read this article, you&#8217;ll want to visit Mount Baker yourself! Read on for more information. Listed below are some of the reasons you should visit Mount Baker Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can explore 400 miles of hiking trails on Mount Baker. Hikers can enjoy short day hikes or overnight excursions, depending on their fitness levels. Steep trails offer spectacular views of the Cascades. A popular loop trail begins at Heather Meadow, which is located near the Mt. Baker Highway and gives you access to Lake Ann, Table Mountain, and 9,127-foot Mount Shuksan. To find out more, check out Craig Romano&#8217;s Day Hiking in the North Cascades guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mount Baker National Forest is home to three waterfalls, including three that are more than two hundred feet high. The waterfalls are surrounded by lush forests. Despite the steepness of the mountain, it&#8217;s well worth it. The waterfalls and hiking trails are all within easy walking distance of one another, making Mount Baker Washington a perfect destination for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. And don&#8217;t forget to bring your camera to take pictures of the spectacular views!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The North Cascades Highway is still closed this year, but is scheduled to reopen on 8\/5\/2022. In the meantime, visitors can take advantage of two alternate routes into the park: the Cascade River Road from Marblemount and the Stehekin Valley Road from Stehekin Valley. You can visit the park during fall and enjoy the stunning autumn colors. It&#8217;s possible to camp near the peak, which is nearly 9,000 feet high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artist Point, a popular hiking trail in the Mount Baker Ski Area, is another great spot to explore during winter. You&#8217;ll find beautiful fields of alpine heather on this hike, and you&#8217;ll be close to Chain Lakes Loop and Lake Ann. Another great option is the Deception Falls Interpretive Trail. If you&#8217;re looking for a short introduction to the Stevens Pass area, consider the Deception Falls Interpretive Trail outside the small town of Skykomish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hell&#8217;s Gate Mine Museum is situated on the site of the former Britannia Mine. The museum features an immersive live-action experience that includes a movie and sound track played through 30 speakers. You can also take a ride on the Hell&#8217;s Gate Airtram, a cable car connecting the museum with Fraser Canyon. If you&#8217;re not a rock climber, don&#8217;t worry, because there are plenty of other activities to enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mount Baker is one of Washington&#8217;s most popular tourist destinations.
