We had an awesome time hiking in the Mount Baker area. Let us know if you have any questions about any of the trails: Heliotrope Ridge Trail, Huntoon Point at Artist Point, and the Yellow Aster Butte Trail! Thanks for stopping 😀🎞
I am 68 years old, from vancouver BC, been mt baker many times, go again july 25th 2022, you video was very helpful, we shall try you hikes. thank you both for the effort you put in to make them, they helped me get good perspective, you dog is lovely. thank you for sharing the beuty of nature.
Nice to meet you Ken! Thanks for checking out our video ☺️You will love it up there! I would definitely check Gaia satellite layer (fresh Sat cloud free mode) to see what the snow level is like up there. Yellow Aster Butte (we were just up that way and plenty of people at trailhead) so that should be fine but maybe some small patches of snow you may cross. Not sure about artist point right now but you can always call the Ski resort or a local business up that way to see if the road is open or recent trail reports
Forgot to mention after hearing from someone and checking trail reports, heliotrope ridge trail road up to trailhead got washed out and so it adds an extra 3 to 4 miles.
Thanks for the trip. Totaly great. Love that area. Have also waking in Mt Baker area but I come from Denmark, and my German Shepherd was not with me. 12 hour flight... But thanks, great to see
Thank you, Jack for stopping by. The Heliotrope Ridge Trail to the Coleman Glacier off Mt Baker was absolutely incredible indeed! We would love to summit the mountain on that route sometime.
Yellow Astre is one of my long time favorites. The trail up to the top of Tomyhoi Peak is terrifying but well worth the climb. Another trail the branches off that trail is Tomyhoi Lake at Gold Run Pass. Love the hi def video. Really nice. If you ever come back up to Mt B you should hit the south side up HWY 20 Baker Lake rd. Schriebers Meadow and Scott Paul Trail is stunning.
Thank you for checking out our video! Finally back after a break for the holidays and new year. Need to catch your channel this week. Appreciate your support!
Thanks! So glad you have been able to explore that area. We loved visiting once a year at least when we lived in the PNW. So much more to explore. Where in the PNW do you live?
@@HelenandTimTravel Great job with the video, it was top-notch!! I loved watching it. We live in the Seattle metro area, so we do get up to the Mount Baker area a couple of times each summer/Fall- as noted it's our favorite area around here. Enjoy, I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
@jm31828 thanks so much! That means a lot to us ☺️ We didn’t want to assume you lived in Seattle. Thanks for watching! We always love chatting with our community. Be fun to do a PNW meet up one of these days!
They were even more incredible in person. We were in awe and could sit there for hours if we could. Thank you for your support and to follow along as an OG subscriber! More adventures to come. Happy new year!
Great video! I am glad to see the experience was so impactful for you, and not too strenuous. That toilet sent me all kinds of red flags, but it is nice that it is out there I suppose. 😅 As someone who feels like he was born with terrible knees, I appreciated the comment on the flat trails, haha. The last time I went hiking my legs were shaking like Maraacaas with each step (in a fun way!/?).
Thank you, Mark! The place definitely left a mark on us. Hahaha the toilet! It almost seemed like we were going to show all of it. We both have terrible knees so day hiking is way easier for us than backpacking now 😅 hahahaha shaking like maracas. Don’t meant to laugh but that’s pretty funny
We have heard such great things about Sourdough Mountain. Thanks for the reminder. We will likely put that on our list for this summer! We have also yet to backpack the Packwood area and have only heard awesome things!
You can use a northwest forest pass. They have day or annual. You can also use the America the Beautiful Interagency National park pass to. Here is more info for the Mount Baker Recreation Pass and Permits website 😃 www.fs.usda.gov/main/mbs/passes-permits/recreation
These are my old stomping grounds; I've hiked these trails and yodeled these mountains. Interesting fact: Mt. Baker is the snowiest place on the planet, averaging more annual snowfall than any other peak. 🤍
You have a beautiful stomping grounds! So awesome you lived there. We often talk about moving up to Bellingham. We heard that fun fact about snowiest place on the planet from our ski instructor at Mt Baker ski area, and we were so surprised! Thanks for watching ☺️

What a wonderful video for such a beautiful place! Going for the summit of Baker sounds like a fun idea!
We are in! Though we did say after rainier wouldn’t summit anything for while 😅 We want to finally summit Mount Hood too!

When you return to Whatcom County, give the Sourdough Mountain trail a try. It'll give you a good workout and the views are spectacular.
We have heard such great things about Sourdough Mountain. Thanks for the reminder. We will likely put that on our list for this summer! We have also yet to backpack the Packwood area and have only heard awesome things!
Do you need a state pass to park and hike?
You can use a northwest forest pass. They have day or annual. You can also use the America the Beautiful Interagency National park pass to. Here is more info for the Mount Baker Recreation Pass and Permits website 😃

Hint: Skagit is pronounced Ska gir, like legit. Not Ska get.
Thanks for the clarification ☺️
