Mount Baker

It's been called Koma Kulshan, Tukullum, La Gran Montaña del Carmelo, and Mount Baker. After Mt. Rainier, it's the most glaciated peak in Washington.


I was happy to be in the high country.


In the morning we roped up, and climbing commenced.


We walked a snaking path, avoiding crevasses like these.


And into the mountain maze we entered.


Visibility stretched for over a hundred miles, with Mt. Rainier and the Puget Sound in view.


Here I am, pausing in front of a large ice fall. 


Plus, "the prettiest marmot on Baker"
