Mt Baker

See post below too for Sat's hike!
On Sunday we hiked on the south side of Mt. Baker. We were attempting to get to a lookout but once we got up high enough there was so much snow we went a different way. It was a much steeper hike but so beautiful. 
Here's one of our first good view of Baker.


Here's us partway up Railroad Grade trail.
Me hiking on Railroad Grade. The left side is where the old glacier pushed up all the rocks. Some places were very steep on both sides. I tried not to think about it....
Here I am on the edge of the moraine lip, past me is where the big glacier had pushed through. 
Erik enjoying the view from the trail.
The trail back down.
Coming down was much easier! Again we did alot of foot skiing or sliding on our butts!
Aren't we cute? The mountain's pretty cute too!
View of Baker from the start of the trail.

All  in all another gorgeous hike in our new backyard! Hope you'll join us for the next adventure soon!
