Baker Lake Classic 50km

Baker Lake 50k occurs in a beautiful serene fall setting. Stands of giant old growth trees draped in lichen and covered in moss are some of the highlights along this trail. This trail leads into a majestic stand of douglas fir that regrew after Mt. Baker erupted and started a forest fire in 1843. You can still see the burned snags of the cedar trees that once dominated the area. From north to south, the trail contours the eastern shoreline of Baker Lake, offering glimpses of Mt. Baker. All along the trail spot western trillium, twinflower, foamflower, coralroot and twisted Stalk. The Baker Lake 50k is a 31.2 mile trail run through the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. While this trail is one we absolutely love, it isn’t easy. If you’re unsure about it, please to check out the Baker Lake 25k, which is half the 50k, but just as great.
