Title: Mountains: 3 Sisters and Mt. Baker, WA
Post by: Okanagan on April 22, 2011, 11:48:27 PM
This afternoon.  Taken from a pull out to look at the view on rural Hwy 9 about 5 miles south of Acme, WA.

The summit of Mt. Baker is the small round dome on the left side of the row of mountains.  It is several thousand feet higher than the Sisters, but is back behind them so looks shorter.  There's a friendly biker bar about a mile from this spot with a fabulous view of the mountains, the Blue Mountain Grill.

Didn't think of it earlier but I have climbed the North Sister, the prominent one on the far left.  It was a summer day's outing with not much snow on the spine of the left skyline ridge in August.  My two sons climbed Mt. Baker together, but I've never done it, and probably won't now.

Nice images.  It is hard to hold the colors on distant shots like that.
