Things To Do
Artist Point Hike
One of the most popular hikes in the area. Artist Point is full of mountain views and tarns (small mountain lakes) that create incredible reflections. And at sunset on a sunny day, Mount Shuksan turns pink with alpenglow! This trail is rated as easy, and you are rewarded with jaw-dropping views from the trailhead.
Bagley Lakes Loop Trail
This trail is rated relatively easy. This is a top choice for hikers on a cloudy or rainy day because even with low visibility and rainfall, this trail will have mountain views! The trail has beautiful wooden boardwalks, wildflowers, and—you guessed it—alpine lakes!
Silver Lake Park
Silver Lake Park is close to the reception location. It has picnic areas to rent out, canoes, paddleboards and boats.
Picture Lake Trail
This path is ADA accessible and has a paved path. This is where we will be having our ceremony!
Fire and Ice Trail
This trail starts at the Heather Meadows Visitor Center. It has amazing views with an easy and short path.
Table Mountain Hike
If you love the idea of Artist Point but not the crowds that come with it, then Table Mountain is for you. This trail starts at the other side of the parking lot from Artist Point and has similar views and tarns in the early season. This trail is far less known and provides stunning 360° mountain views!
Chain Lakes Loop Trail
Alpine lakes (yes, plural!), wildflowers, and mountain views . . . this trail has it all! It also has a very gradual elevation gain over its 6.5 miles.
Lake Ann Trail
Ready to lace up your hiking boots to wander through the mountains to a gorgeous alpine lake?! Well then, this just might be the hike for you. Think of this view as the Huntoon Point view on steroids.
Winchester Mountain Hike
This trail is one of our photographers favorites in all of Washington state. After making your way up a very adventurous mountain road, you will arrive at Twin Lakes. Feel free to picnic by the lake before starting off on this trail lined with wildflowers. It ends with some of the most jaw-dropping views in Washington and a historic fire lookout you can access. Please note: we really mean it when we say this road is adventurous. To do this trail, you must have a 4WD vehicle with clearance, such as a Jeep Wrangler, pickup truck, or 4Runner. A RAV4, Ford Explorer, Subaru Forester, etc., will not be able to make it to this trailhead.
Horseshoe Bend Trail
Right in Glacier, WA, is one of our photographers favorite forested trails in the state. This trail winds through an old-growth forest following the icy blue Nooksack River. Very close to town and one of the more easy hikes.
