Today we took a ride to Mount Baker. It was gorgeous. The views were breath taking and the air was crisp. The sun shining on the snow looked like thousands of tiny crystals had fallen from the sky. I made a snowball and threw it at Charlie!! What fun!
Topping out at
a lofty 10,778 feet, Mount Baker is one of the most heavily glaciated peaks in
the Cascade Range, covered year-round on its upper flanks with a cloak of
ice and hardened snow. The average
snowfall is 647 inches.

| Switchback! |
The road was not my favorite it had so many curves and switchbacks I thought I was going to die before getting up there to enjoy the view!! :) and of course coming down wasn't any better. I would highly recommend this trip if you're ever out this way.
