Once again I made my annual Fall photo tour starting at Malibu, CA and continued up the coast to Washington State where I spent time at Artist Point located in Mt. Baker National Forest. Then from there I traveled to my final destination to the Lower Mainland of Beautiful British Columbia. As usual I was rewarded with some beautiful sights and experiences with my journey to Mt. Baker the most rewarding.
Mt. Baker – Positioned at the base of the western flank of Mount Baker’s massive glacier, with 6 inches of fresh snow still falling, all alone, when all of a sudden, well after sunset, the storm cleared, revealing this massive volcanic mountain, highlighted by the golden light from the rising moon… .

OK, it’s more like a bumpy drive up a forest service road and a 7.5-mile round-trip hike, but the wildflowers on this trail are stunning – there’s a reason it has ‘yellow aster’ in its name. Referred to by locals as YAB, you’ll gain 2,550 feet of elevation along the hike, reaching a high point of 6,150 feet in the North Cascades. You’ll be rewarded with views of Mt. Baker, Mt. Larrabee, the High Divide, and the Canadian Border Peaks. It’s also a popular hike to see the colorful fall foliage. The glacier-fed tarns are a great place to refill your water bottle or pitch a tent for the night.
