With most of my hiking, backpacking, and skiing behind me, Artist Point keeps me connected to the favorite places in my later youth. One heck of a climb on backcountry skis, and a healthy hike in late summer or early fall, a visit to Artist Point by car is within reach for almost everyone. Three moderate and challenging trails start from the parking lot, but for those with achy old bones, a sun hat and a folding chair, a full reusable water bottle, and a snack will keep you happy for hours, simply enjoying the breathtaking views.
A rugged pit toilet facility takes the anxiety out of staying put to watch the play of light as the sun travels from east to west.
