Great pizza, excelling sour beers, family friendly and very popular for the skiers and hikers coming down the Hwy 542. Prepare to wait at peak hours (4-7pm on weekends). At other times you may have it to yourself!

An unexpected gem in an odd spot, this restaurateur knows what he is doing, and he's doing it purely for the love! You will taste in the food and feel in the service. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy. Just read the Yelp or Google reviews (nearly 5 stars average) but check the hours! They only open evenings Thurs-Sun. A good stop on the way to the cabin if you want to eat somewhere cool & unique before arriving.

Great baked goods and quiche! This is your stop for a proper latte on the way to the ski area or a hike.

More of an iconic Glacier restaurant in the historical sense. On the wall are old photos of the first lodge built at the Mt Baker Ski Area and newspaper clippings of major events in Glacier's past as a wild old logging town. We call the giant wood stove in the middle of the dining area "the mother ship" so if you're chilly, this is the stop. Decent food for "the country" and PNW beer standards.

Steep hike to a beautiful meadow! Appropriate only in late summer after the snow melts, unless you brought snow shoes! The trailhead is a paved loop with obvious parking. Discover Pass needed.

A long and gradual climb to Hannegan Pass with stunning views of the Nooksack Cirque (a glacier carved valley) and Ruth Mtn to motivate you. The 5 mile dirt road from Hwy 542 is rough but passable in most cars in summer. This is a cross-country ski or snowshoe route in winter.

Nice moderate trail along the North Fork of the Nooksack with beautiful trees and views of the incredible rapids. This is an advanced kayaker's paradise but accessible for an easy walk. You may have to climb over some downed trees until the Forest Service cleans it up (we did some basic maintenance with hand saws).

Sightseeing

In summer, you can drive right into the heart of the Cascades and take in stunning views of Mt Shuksan and surrounding mountains, maybe even touch some remaining winter snow! Trails depart to Lake Ann and Bagley (Chain) Lakes from within the Mt Baker Ski Area parking lots, suitable after June.
