With one-track
minds we headed straight to the end of Mount Baker Highway and the parking
lot at the top.
Whoa Nellie, look at that snow! |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
I couldn't see
the trails at all. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
Still shrouded
in mist, Mount Shuksan peeped at us from behind a huge snowbank. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
Table Mountain
fared a little better but the trails looked treacherous. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
Ahhhhh - there
is the glorious Mount Baker.
|
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
Undaunted,
I slogged my way across the snowfield towards the lookouts at the edge. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
Tim kindly gave
me directions from the top of Snow Mountain. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
On Mount Baker's
hillsides were snow fields, some of them dotted with Mountain Goats. The snow fields are over a mile away so I am flabbergasted that the goats even showed up in my photos. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
There are so many
wonderful views from the trail around the edge (which was still snow-covered
today). |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
Mount Shuksan
is a very photogenic mountain. |

Down, down,
down we go, headed for Austin Pass where we will eat our lunch.
|
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
Our 'usual table'
is in use so we are forced to find another. |
||||||||||
|
||||||||||
This one has a
lovely view too, and even a couple of (camera-shy) chipmunks as lunch
guests. |
