Closed today due to snowfall. From the WA State Department of Transportation:
October snow closes the road to Artist Point
As the season of scarves, pumpkins and colored leaves flutters in, the sun has set on the summer adventure season at Artist Point.
Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews have closed the State Route 542/Mount Baker Highway seasonal gate to Artist Point to vehicle traffic due to snow and unsafe conditions. This year the highway was open for 130 days, the second longest season on record. In 2014 it was open for 115 days and in 2015 for 171 days.
The good news is that this brings us that much closer to the opening of the Ski Season on Mt. Baker.
