Mount Baker is 10,778 feet, making it the fourth-highest mountain in Washington State. It is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Greater Vancouver and south to Seattle in Washington. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area set the world record for snowfall in a single season—1,140 inches. Mount Baker is also an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the North Cascades of Washington State. It is the second-most active volcano in the range after Mount Saint Helens. It last erupted in 1880.
It still has alot of snow on it and will continue to have a good amount of snow at the top throughout the summer. It was cold. Brrrr!
I even tried jumping into the ski lift, but it was closed for the season. It’s probably a good thing, because I don’t think I know how to ski.
On the way up we stopped at a park near at the base of the mountain. There was a HUGE douglas fir log. Did you know you can tell a tree's age by the number of rings it has? Each ring counts as one year. It was so big, I lost count. 
Further up the mountain we stopped at Nooksack Falls. The Nooksack River was used for hydroelectric power from 1906 to 1997. There's a lot of water running through there and it's loud!
The area is beautiful. The trees are SOOOOO tall. The view at the summit was spectacular. I won't soon forget it.
