East Bank Baker Lake — Friday, Aug. 23, 2024

This day hike on a Thursday afternoon with my Dad was lovely. I think we managed to find one of the only spots in the area without rain that day! 8 cars at the trailhead including ours, passed very few people. Only hiked about 2 hours and then turned around due to a time crunch on our end (my bad for not leaving the house early enough) but could have walked all day. No bugs, ripe blueberries and huckleberries. Views of Kolchan and Shuksan including some cool clouds even with the backdrop of an overcast sky. As the signs at the trailhead indicate, the bridge over Anderson Creek is out but the crossing is fairly straightforward to do without much trouble (see photo). No campers present at Anderson Point, and there was only one motorized boat plus 2 jet skis on the water the whole time. Quite a contrast from the week/weekend before where the lake and campgrounds were completely full!
