Fodor's Review:

Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest is a vast area including much of the mountain and forest land around North Cascades National Park. The region has many trails, but because the snowline is quite low in Washington State, the upper ridges and mountains are covered by snow much of the year. This makes for a short hiking, climbing, and mountain-biking season, usually from mid-July to mid-September or October—but winter brings skiing and snowmobiling. The wildflower season is also short but spectacular; expect fall color by late August and early September. The 10,778-foot-high, snow-covered volcanic dome of Mt. Baker is visible from much of Whatcom County and from as far north as Vancouver and as far south as Seattle
