Motorcycle Trip To Mount Baker SR 542 In The Cascades And On To Larrabee State Park in Washington State 2020-09-21

This ride takes State Route 542 up to Artist Point, from that vantage point you can see Mount Shuksan, Mount Baker and a panorama of the Cascade Range. As with any Cascade Pass check the current road conditions to Artist Point before travelling.

We started from Bellingham, the ride is nice and gentle at first. But as you get near the top as you can see from this video the twisties start and the fun begins. When you get to the top you can see the road you just came up:

You are surrounded by a panormaic view of Mt Shuksan:


As you continue further down the path more and more mountains pop into view:




And Mt Baker:




Coming down to Bellingham had lunch and stopped at Larrabee State Park. Right on the beach and VERY nice:



The Scenic Byway Chuckanut Drive that takes you in and out of Larrabee State Park is a nice gently windy road. See this video of the drive, Sea and mountains at the same time.
