Berry season! The hike starts in meadows choked with berries, and hints of fall color. There are views of the mountain the entire way, except for a set of switchbacks between the lower and upper meadows. This is among the best maintained trails in the Mt Baker area. The lookout approach is straightforward although it looks steep from a distance. The south views of Baker are unique, including neighboring Colfax and Shuksan, and there are distant views of countless peaks, from Glacier to Twin Sisters and Three Fingers. Mt Baker is a huge snow cone from this vantage! The meadows will likely have spectacular fall color in 1 month.
