Hikeing Mt Baker

[Comp 670]

Went up and hiked Mt Baker last weekend.There is still snow up by hood hill and in the trees through the woods.

Not alot of snow but more then there was last year at this time.

Might head up again this weekend and try to make it to the lookout.The forest service was having a workparty at the
lookout last weekend fixing it up and repairing any damage it has got through the years.I would really like to see the view
from there in the summer.

If you mean up on the glacier to the crater edge...Not even close...I am way to out of shape to hike that far. I barely made ot out of the first meadow by peanut.It is soooo much better to do on a sled!!

It is amazing how long it takes to hike through the rocks what we do in 20 or 30 min on sleds on 15 ft of snow.

We will see if we can make it to the lookout this weekend if we go.

If going to lookout, avoid the rocks. Go straight across the rocks and go up the trail that gets you on top of the west rr grade.

Those rocks are difficult to get through.

Good thing Baker gets a butt load of snow, otherwise that would be one unpleasant ride.
