This is probably my favorite accessible winter hike in Washington because it provides stunning views of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan. During summer you can drive right up to Artist Point, but in winter the road is closed about 2 miles from the top and you need to park at Bagley Lake trailhead. This is definitely a winter hike for those who are a little more experienced as there’s a small amount of route finding, and you will need to wear snowshoes.
