Mt. Shuksan at Picture Lake
Mt. Shuksan is a stunning peak in the North Cascades National Park, reflected here so beautifully in Picture Lake. Rising to an elevation of 9131 ft., Shuksan sits east of Mt. Baker along the Mt. Baker Scenic Byway, not far from the Canadian border. First summitted in 1906, Mt Shuksan and the surrounding wilderness are now a popular destination for hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, and nature photographers.
