This season

No reports yet this season. We note the report every 10 minutes from Oct 12 on, so this will show how often Mt. Baker Highway needs chains.

The last 30 days, worst report of each day: closed chains traction tires open no report

If Mt. Baker Highway closes

Plan a drive: when a pass on the way is closed, the drive goes over an open one instead and says so.

Questions

Is Mt. Baker Highway open right now?

There is no official report for Mt. Baker Highway right now. Look at the cameras on this page, and check WSDOT's pass page before you go.

Do I need chains on Mt. Baker Highway?

There is no requirement reported right now. In the snow season, the rule can change within an hour: check this page before you leave, and carry chains over the mountains in winter.

How high is Mt. Baker Highway?

4,250 feet, on SR 542, connecting Glacier to the Mt. Baker ski area.

What if Mt. Baker Highway closes?

The nearest other ways across are Tiger Mountain (SR 18), North Cascades Highway (SR 20), Stevens Pass (US 2), Loup Loup Pass (SR 20) or Snoqualmie Pass (I-90). Check their status above before you change your plans: storms often close more than one.
