Artist point hike wta. Parking pass required at trailheads. Check road conditions in late summer/early fall. 195 trip reports for this trail, below. The saying goes that alpine plants grow by the inch and die by the foot. and that is obvious on the artist's ridge trail.
We got our snowshoes on and headed up toward the trailhead. Artist point is the top competitor for best viewpoint in the state. 10 overall rating technical difficulty physical difficulty. Great meadow views on the wild goose trail which goes from heather meadows parking lot to artist point parking lot.
The hike takes off from the artist point parking lot at an elevation of 5,220 feett. We had this shorter hike on our list in case of a day with only a limited good weather window or if we wanted a restful day. The trail is primarily used for hiking, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing. Table mountain 3 miles round trip with 560 feet of elevation gain, 5,700 ft high point.
The views don't get much better from elsewhere, and the hike is so short that there is no need to take a shortcut on the way back. It was starting to get dark and avalanche danger was high so we stayed on the ski hill instead of going to the artist point trail. If you hike to huntoon point, please stay on the graveled trail. Hike the chain lakes trail and in 0.25 mile, turn right on the table mountain trail.
The road to artist point, 2.7 miles long (milepost 54.55 to 57.26) and more than 5,000 feet above sea level, is typically buried under snow and closed october. We set out to hike artist point snowshoe and made it to the parking lot at the ski area around 2. Arrived at 9am on a sunday and parking lot was half full. Then 2.7 miles to the end to artist point (this portion of the road is very narrow with switchbacks).
While a smaller hike, wta recommends that you don’t underestimate it and exercise caution with children. This relatively easy snowshoe is an excellent winter destination with a virtual guarantee of good snow coverage. The water is this gorgeous, gorgeous, lake tahoe blue. We had to hike pretty steep uphill to get to the trailhead.
We continued to huntoon point from artist point through the artist ridge trail and it made this whole hike so much better. The hike from bagley lake, going on to the chain lakes and artist point, is probably the most stunning hike i've ever taken. Shuksan and baker at roads end. There should still be snow pack off the road and parking lot.
Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
