It require a 2 mile road walk after the gate closes at the start of December.
From Stephan: Sister Divide….east of the Twin Sisters range…but west of Mt. Baker…..should have good views. The only drawback I can see is walking the road for about 2 miles due to a gate closure. I do believe the Middle Fork Nooksack is driveable to there…but not sure. Route is attached. Another bonus peak…but I would consider it a dumpster diver since it is below 5000’.
