Yes, we have so much wildlife up here in the Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest! This adorable owl was just hanging out yesterday completely unafraid of us. It was so neat to see it so close up.

We took a little stroll along the lower section of the Bagley Lakes trail last week with our furry family member Layla.This whole area is dog friendly. The weather was a bit cloudy but the views were still amazing. Our pup enjoyed playing in the water and the wildflowers were blooming all over. Did you know that unlike many National Parks, the Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, and the Artist Point viewing and hiking area are dog friendly? There is one hike up towards Chimney (Table Mountain) which does not allow dogs due to its cliffs and loose ground, but there are many other amazing hikes all over this area that are dog friendly.

One thing we love about summers in the Mt. Baker area is all the wild berries. We found this patch of super sweet, wild strawberries in Silver Lake Park. Silver Lake Park is a beautiful place for paddle boarding, hiking little trails, enjoying mountain views, and of course enjoying wild sweet berries. Artist Point is also a lovely place to get some wild berries closer to fall.

At Serene Mountain Escapes our guests are our top priority. We appreciate every single one of them and do our best to keep our houses in tip top shape and sparkling clean. Nothing brightens our day more than hearing from our guests about how much they enjoyed their stay! Our sweet guest Cassady recently left this cute message in The Woodlands Chalet guest book.
We only manage a select few homes so that we can take pride in each and every one with hands on management, and because we choose to stay a small company no guest or owner is ever just a drop in the bucket for us, they all mean a lot and are each appreciated so much!

In early summer, many hiking trails in the Mt. Baker area still have some snow, but there are lovely walks you can do all year round like this one pictured. This beautiful trail meanders through a field of flowers with mountain view’s and crosses the road into Silver Lake Park to connect with those trails. It’s dog friendly and passes by Silver Lake.

Are you excited for Artist Point to open for the 2025 summer season? We can’t wait either!
We took a drive up this last weekend to check out the progress. The Wa State DOT has been working hard to clear the way. As of Sunday June 1st the road was already completely cleared all the way to “Grandma’s” visitor center. Lots of work has been done up higher on the road as well. While we don’t have an exact opening date as of yet, it won’t be long, so start making your summer plans while you can. Our summer calendars are booking up early this year. We already have one home which only has one summer weekend left available to book on September 5th, so get your preferred house booked before it’s too late! They don’t last long!

All of our lovely vacation homes are located in Glacier which is the closest town you can stay at when visiting the Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest and Artist Point viewing area.
