Artist Point Snowshoe — Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

WOW! This is the easiest and best snowshoe trail I've ever even heard of. The views are absolutely breathtaking, it has to be one of the all time best trails. You can do this hike in 4ish miles round trip. I wandered all over the place and easily spent 5 hours walking around and taking photos. So be prepared to spent some significant time up here if you're easily distracted. A few things to note, you are required to have snow chains in your car. The roads were perfectly clear for me, but you never know what storm systems will roll in. The trail is easy enough to follow around as long as there is not fresh powder. Just be prepared for white out conditions. The clouds were moving very fast, and there were several times that the cloud cover was so thick I couldn't see more than 20 ft ahead.
