Richard and I headed up to Mt. Baker Ski area on Canada Day to check out the views and play in the snow. We saw a lovely small forest fire on the way just outside of Maple Falls and the smoke did not make photographing the mountains as fun!
Mt. Shuksan - One of the most photographed mountains in the world! I actually seen pictures of this mountain hanging on the walls all over the world!
Mt. Baker ski area does hold the world record for the most snowfall in one season at 1,140 inches (95 feet or almost 20 meters). This is what some of the snowbanks look like in July. Keep in mind Richard is 6'7. Imagine what these snowbanks look like in the middle of winter... It's usually like driving in a tunnel.
More of Mt. Shuksan, you can see the toe of the glacier.
