A little sunset from Mt. Baker Rim.

Serene Mountain Escapes is now being featured on the Mt. Baker Ski Area website. With summer winding down to its end, and fall just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about plans for snow and the many guests that winter brings to the Mt. Baker/ Glacier Area. We have three other homes currently waiting to join our rental program, so stay tuned for more great places to stay!

The snow has finally melted up at Artist Point! The hikes are open and the weather is perfect. Come up and enjoy the amazing views right from the parking lot, or if you enjoy hiking there are many hikes around that range from just a mile or so to 10 miles or more in length.

I saw this beautiful little hummingbird at Graham’s Store the other day. It was so brave and seemed to not even care that me and the store owner Jody were standing just inches from him, watching in awe.

Foxgloves are one of my favorite wildflowers in the Glacier/ Mt. Baker area! They are so beautiful and abundant! In the early summer they cover the sides of the Mt. Baker Hwy and can be found along the rivers and trails around Glacier. In the later summer they are all over up at the Mt. Baker Ski Area, and Artist Point. One of my favorite things about them is that they stand about 2-3 feet tall, and have larger flowers so they can be seen very well even at a distance. The beautiful purple and white flowers add so much color to the already breathtaking views at the top of Hwy. 542! What an amazing place to live and visit!

The gorgeous, world famous~ Artist Point opens this Sunday 6/9/19! We are offering a last minute special at The Cedar Suite at Snowater Resort! Only $99 a night when you stay anytime between now and June 20th.  Check out our accommodations link   for more photos, and how to book.

Do you ever find yourself in the day to day rut of routinely running around almost robotically going through the motions of daily life? Sometimes I think our pets feel this too! We all need some time to get away from habitual living, and go enjoy something fresh! Maybe you need a new adventure, somewhere you’ve never been before, or maybe just somewhere that you can relax and put the stresses of life aside and unwind a bit. Either way the Mt. Baker wilderness is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and it’s dog friendly too! So bring your pup and come check out what this amazing area has to offer! There is an abundance of sniffing to do, there are some creeks to splash in, lakes for swimming in, and rivers for relaxing next to. Your pup won’t be disappointed and neither will you! Check out our vacations rentals in the area for a beautiful place to stay on your visit!

Spring is a great time for visiting Glacier because the Mt. Baker Ski area closes down for the season, and the town is quiet and peaceful! The days can be nice and warm and the rivers are flowing full with snowmelt. Rental prices are generally the lowest of the year since it’s in between busy seasons. This is a great time to enjoy a relaxing, quiet getaway to the local trails, and rivers! Check out our newly updated Cedar Suite at Snowater! During this season, it rents for as low as $99 for midweek stays.
