Mount Shuksan is a glaciated peak in the North Cascades National Park of the United States. Shuksan lies in Whatcom County, Washington, immediately to the east of Mount Baker, just south of Canada. Shuksan is composed of Shuksan Greenschist, oceanic basalt that was metamorphosed when the Easton terrane smashed into the west coast of North America, approximately 120 million years ago. Shuksan is the most photographed mountain in the world , often photographed from the Mount Baker Ski Area. The Mount Baker Highway (Washington State Highway 542) is kept open during the winter to support the ski area, and in the late summer, the road to Artist Point allows visitors to travel a few miles higher.
