Although this byway is a relatively short 57 miles, the attractions and scenery found along the Mount Baker Highway are worthy of extra time taken out of the car absorbing the atmosphere. Mount Baker Highway begins just west of Bellingham and winds up to spectacular Artist Point, the end of the highway. The highway is home to whatever visitors are searching for from solitude and beauty, to fun and recreation, to the dazzling experience of all that Mount Baker has to offer. Unlike many byways, this road does not lead to another location or area. It’s a destination unto itself and an adventure all along the way.
Navigating the Byway:
From Seattle: take I-5 north. Turn east on to SR 542 at Bellingham.
