Mount Baker

Hiking the Park Butte and Railroad Grade trails, Mount Baker had been hidden in the clouds the whole time, but began to clear as I reached the glacial moraine known as Railroad Grade and was soon completely free of clouds. In the photo, the peak is at the far right with Easton Glacier below it and Railroad Grade curving up from the left. The sharply pointed peaks at the left are the Black Buttes, the more rounded peak near the center, Colfax Peak and the slope between Colfax and Baker the Roman Slope. When we climbed Baker we came from the other side of the Black Buttes, camping there on Coleman Glacier and climbing through the notch and up the Roman Slope, all much steeper than it appears in this photo.
