This is another shot from the drive up Mount Baker Highway to the ski resort with my parents. This was taken from a forest service road that would normally be impassable this time of the year, but because of our mild winter was negotiable with my all-wheel drive van. The river is the North Fork of the Nooksack and the mountain is Mount Shuksan, one of the dominant peaks of the North Cascades. We had a beautiful day for our drive and my parents were thrilled by the beautiful scenery. Neither of them (they are in their 80's) gets around very well anymore and this, according to them, was one of the highlights of their visit, though seeing a new great-granddaughter trumped even this. They have seen the North Cascades many times before, but not in the winter, so it was a pleasure to take them here.
