Driving UP, from Vancouver is a far drive. Be sure to check the weather before committing to that distance. They got dedicated snow clearing machinery. So you can use any car if you like. The temps have been reaching the 40's so if there was any ice or snow it got melted by the rain. Parking is plentiful. Tickets can only be bought in person. After 12:30pm there's a $10 discount. Food is not that great so pack a lunch. There's always someone playing music.

If you're driving DOWN from Vancouver, BC, start at Abbotsford and cross at Sumas. You don't have to mingle with the I5 tourist traffic, and it's almost a straight direct route towards Mt Baker.

It slows down when it get's narrow and windy. Be sure to pull over if there is a parade of 5 cars behind you. It's always the BC plates or a Subaru that makes people happy. They'll all going to the same spot, and you don't want mean looks when you get there.

All the Green slopes are at Heather Meadows, and all the good parking are at White Salmon. At White Salmon you don't have to park at the first spot you see. Wait till you see the lodge and there's always parking close to the lodge.
