A terrific blue bird day to enjoy mount baker's magnificence yesterday! We started early to catch sunrise and beat the crowds. Arrived at parking lot with only a few cars. Roads are paved and no fresh snow made this easy to get in and out of. We carried snowshoes but didn't really need them as snow is packed. Gaitors and spikes did the job. Be sure to bundle up as temps were freezing and the chilly wind gusts at the top made it even more colder. Caught some light pink hues around sunrise with clear views of Mt. Baker, Shuksan, Larrabee, American border and Canadian border peaks and many more I can't name in north cascades. Had a quick snack break and made our way back well before the crowds started pouring in. One of the most beautiful alpine areas in pnw and one of my absolute favorites!! My heart is full❤️
