We've never been to Mount Baker. Though you can see it from lots of points in Western Washington. Dennis wants to see more wilderness places yet I whine about camping (I dont WAMT to gp camping!) But how about some day trips? Or maybe stay overnight at some place near where you might camp. If you were going to camp.
So, nothing much on the agenda for today, Sounds too good to be true.
So let's go! And we did. Turns out that mid July is a little early. In fact, we could not go all the way to the top which is 'Artists Point' or similar. Because the Forest Service hasn't plowed it, too much snow! And you want a picnic table? If you don't buy the 5 buck pass, there's only one in the WHOLE place and it's currently under a bunch of snow.
Turns out that lots of letterboxes are around. The printer jams so we only find one. Beautiful stop at Nooksack Falls. Drive up to Heather Meadow, (Thant's as far as you can go currently) pretty views and a busy group of fit looking people getting ready to go backpacking. But a beautiful view and a accessible short interpretive trail around Picture Lake. Just my speed. Except even this wheelchair accessible trail is somewhat blocked by snow.
Got any idea why this might be called Picture Lake? Mt. Shuksan in the background and reflecting.
Beautiful Sunday in July. And not many people. NOTHING was crowded.
Then I start thinking, what if I wanted to bring jam to Connecticut. We drive back and I just make the end of the market.
