The Mt. Baker Highway 542 ends at Artist Point. On my Round-The-Mountain trek on August 23-24, 2016, I started just below Artist Point at the Lake Ann trail head. The first part of the ride is an exhilarating winding descent in the first 7 miles, with 2,000 feet of drop. Truly one of the Washington State bike classics.

As part of a Mt. Baker Round-The-Mountain trip, my first segment was 58 miles of biking, starting at the Lake Ann trail head. I proceeded west on Highway 542, then south, then on to the Mosquito Lake Road, and finally finishing up the bike segment on FS 38. This video covers the initial bike segment, 7 miles and 2,000 feet of exhilarating descent, another classic bike route in Washington State.
