Baker Lake 50K
October 5 @ 6:00 am - 6:00 pm
Produced by Northwest Endurance Events, the Baker Lake 50k is a challenging run in a beautiful serene fall setting with stands of giant old growth trees draped in lichen and covered in moss.
The route 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.
