Mount Baker Highway will close for several hours this weekend
Mount Baker Highway will be closed Sunday morning, Sept. 12, for the Mt. Baker Hill Climb.
Closure of the popular tourist route to trails in the North Cascades will be from 7 a.m. to noon Sunday from the mountain village of Glacier to the road’s end at Artist Point, the Washington State Department of Transportation said in a statement.
During the event, hundreds of cyclists pedal about 4,400 feet up the steep and curvy road, also called Highway 542 or State Route 542.
