Nooksack Falls

Nooksack Falls is a waterfall along the North Fork of the Nooksack River in Whatcom County. The water flows through a narrow valley and drops freely 88 feet into a deep rocky river canyon. The falls are viewable from the forested cover near the cliffs edge and are located on the way down from Mt. Shuksan so if you want to utilize both locations it's super accommodating for that.

Mt. Shuksan + Artist Point

Mount Shuksan is a glaciated massif in the North Cascades National Park. Shuksan rises in Whatcom County, Washington immediately to the East of Mount Baker, and 11.6 miles South of the Canada-US border. The mountain’s name Shuksan is derived from the Lummi word Seqsen, said to mean ‘High Peak’. In Spring the wildflowers are amazing, summer can feel a bit like winter and there are numerous great locations to stop close to the highway. Artist Point is located at the very end of Mount Baker Highway, State Route 542 and boasts 360-degree views of Mount Shuksan and Mount Baker, as well as access to a variety of trails. The road to Artist Point, 2.7 miles long and more than 5,000 feet above sea level, is typically buried under snow and closed October through June. Artist Point typically opens in July and remains open until the first substantial snowfall of the year, which usually comes in late September or early October.
