Mt-Baker on

Oh look, a marmot!

A good friend of mine and I went backpacking in the North Cascades a couple of weeks ago (been busy, this post is a bit late), setting up camp on the slopes of Mt Baker – unfortunately the weather prevented us from seeing it clearly except from a distance on the hike up to camp.

The plan was to hike to Park Butte and enjoy the views but with overcast skies and limited visibility we ended up seeing fewer mountains …

Sunset, Sound, mountains.

A really cool sunset shown on Baker this evening.

While I was shooting some photos one of the sun deck walkers felt the same.

“Pretty cool, yeah?”

“Indeed.”

I already have hundreds of Rainier photos but I’m not tired of taking them yet.

Sunset, sunrise, mountains.

We’ve been experiencing crisp, clear days and nights coupled with stunning sunrises and sunsets – it’s been so clear Mt Baker has been visible the last couple of days.

This evening’s sunset faded through the blues, magentas and yellows finishing with a blood red mushroom cloud – unfortunately I had only the iPhone and the photo didn’t come out so your imagination will have to suffice.

Series: Sunset > Sunrise > Heather Park

After an early morning of shooting the sunrise I wanted to get up into the mountains and chose the Heather Park Trail as my access point because I needed something near the campsite and so I could get up, down and home for dinner.

The trail starts through the typical NW forest though this one was both younger and lacking the undergrowth typical of the woods with which I’m most familiar.
