Washington

Deming

Picture Lake offers incredible views without requiring much effort, so it's an ideal destination for a variety of travelers. The towering Mount Shuksan is reflected in the water on calm days and at sunrise, it's apparent why this location is named Picture Lake — it's as pretty as a picture! It also doesn't hurt that you're surrounded by mountains in all directions, including the impressive Mt Baker, amongst others.

Few hiking destinations offer better views of Mount Shuksan and Mount Baker covered in snow than Artist Point. This adventurous area is an expansive landscape of breathtaking wintry backcountry that's relatively easy to access for experienced snowshoers. With a model in your shot, you can evoke a sense of scale and capture an image that shows how massive these PNW mountains really are.

Snowshoeing in the mountains of Washington is such an amazing experience! As you make your way up the trail, take a moment to look around you, in awe of the vast expanse of snow and mountains that surrounds. And while you'll certainly feel small in the face of such grandiose mountains, you'll also feel at peace as you're captivated by the calming beauty of the winter-white landscape.

The crystal-clear reflection of Mount Shuksan, the fluffy white clouds and green trees are the perfect recipe for a serene scene in the PNW.

It's one of the most photographed and beautiful vistas in North America and is very easy to access—just a short stroll from the parking lot!

As soon as you enter the viewpoint to this location, you'll feel like you stepped into a dream. Dense, white clouds, ambient sunset lighting, tall trees and a stunning mountain as your backdrop make this lakeside photo spot the perfect place to snap away.
