| There are several small and scenic lakes just below Artist Point. |
Last September, we decided to take a day trip from our home in Shoreline to Artist Point near Mount Baker. It had been about four years since our last trip there.

| The trees look like sentinels standing watch near the Bagley Lakes. |
The area provides one of Washington State's most beautiful views of the snow capped volcano.

| Mount Shuksan is just over the next small ridge. |
We left early in the morning, 5:30am and we arrived in Bellingham at 7:00am for breakfast. Just a little north of Bellingham we exited I-5 onto Highway 542 and drove the 60 miles to Artist Point area.
Mount Baker, the snow capped volcano, rises to a summit elevation of 10,781 feet. It is visible from some vantage spots in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.
