Wildflower Hike to Mount Baker's Glaciers 🌸🏔️
📍 Ptarmigan Ridge Trail 12.6 miles | 2,800 ft elevation gain Finally checked this epic wildflower trail off my list! ✨ Why It’s Magic: ▪️ Flower-carpeted path leading straight toward Mount Baker’s glaciers. ▪️ Panoramic views of Mount Shuksan on the return hike. ▪️ Alpine lake detour with floating ice patches ❄️—worth the scramble! ⏰ Golden Hour Bonus: Morning light = perfect Baker views Afternoon light = Shuksan glow 🥾 Trail Notes: ▪️ Some snow patches (trekking poles helpful, no spikes needed). ▪️ No crowds—just you, the flowers, and those iconic peaks. #BakerHikes #WildflowerSeason #GlacierViews
