Great day to be at Mt Baker, no snow until Morovitz meadows, then the cut off to Park Butte is snow covered but passable with route finding skills. We decided to head up Railroad grade to climbers camp, oh what a good decision, the trail clears of snow at RR grade and the the flowers are out in force, what a beautiful hike, like a park that gardeners tend to constantly. The mountain was out with occasional clouds, perfect day, no bugs, snow for our dog to eat and play in, about 2.5 hours from Schreiber's Meadow to climbers camp in between glaciers at the top of the moraine.
