Mt. Baker is among the peaks of the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. State Route 542, or the Mt. Baker Highway, is a scenic driving route that visitors can take past the small communities of the Mt. Baker foothills to Artist Point at an elevation of over 5,000 feet. The road’s final 24 miles are designated as a U.S. National Forest National Scenic Byway. Along the road, visit breweries, vineyards, farmlands and locally owned shops. Popular pit stops from Bellingham to the peak include the Nooksack waterfalls at mile 40 and Picture Lake at mile 55. The Glacier Public Service Center and the Heather Meadows Visitor Center Area are both official ranger offices for the national forest.
