Join the Mount Baker Sierra Club for a hike on the stunning Ptarmigan Ridge Trail from Artist Point, one of the most beautiful hikes on Mount Baker. Early fall is when blueberry bushes and other alpine shrubs come into their full fall color, and we'll admire the foliage and any interesting plants and animals we come across as we traverse a ridge line with incredible views of the North Cascades. We'll also pause for a conversation about local opportunities to take action for wild places.

This trail is rated as challenging by All Trails. Total elevation gain is 1,800 feet, and trail length is 9 miles round trip. Be prepared to make a day of it as we take our time on the way up! Well behaved dogs are welcome.

We will meet at the Chain Lakes Trailhead.

The purpose of this outing is to support the Sierra Club's mission. You do not need to be a member of the Sierra Club to join us, yet we highly encourage you to show your support. For more information about becoming a member of the Sierra Club, please click here.
