Description

National Forest

Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

Anderson Point campsites are located on Baker Lake Trail.

This is a wonderful family hike for all seasons with its low elevation and level grade. Stands of giant old growth trees draped in lichen and covered in moss are some of the highlights along this trail. Baker Lake Trail is the only trail on Mt. Baker Ranger District open for stock and llama use year round. It can also be accessed at the north via Baker River Trail 606.

This trail leads into a majestic stand of Douglas fir that regrew after Mt. Baker erupted and started a forest fire in 1843. You can still see the burned snags of the cedar trees that once dominated the area. From south to north, the trail contours the eastern shoreline of Baker Lake, offering glimpses of Mt. Baker. All along the trail spot western trillium, twinflower, foamflower, coralroot and twisted stalk.

Easy backpacking with awesome views

After a short and easy hike on the Baker Lake trail you arrive at Anderson Point, an area of scattered camp sites next to Baker Lake with stunning views of Koma Kulshan (Mt. Baker). Koma Kulshan is an active volcano covered in a shimmering layer of glaciers.

This camp area can fill up quickly on the weekends but if you go during the week you well have plenty of privacy. Great begginners backpacking trip- also great for a relaxing overnight for all skill levels!
