This photo was taken from Picture Lake with a view of Mount Shuksan. To get there, drive along Highway 542 going east through the town of Glacier and then for another 21 miles until you reach a fork in the road. Turn right and Picture Lake will be on your left. The parking area is just past the The Chalet on Mt. Baker. If you're using GPS, you can also input Picture Lake Trailhead or reference the GPS given. After you park, walk toward the lake's wooden viewing area to get this perspective.
