The other mountain

I'm always surprised at how many good views we have of Mt. Baker in Whatcom county. I knew the name, growing up here, i.e. "Mt. Baker ski resort" but it always seemed like such a far away place.

With a neighborhood group, I toured the apartment buildings at south Echo Lake some years ago. I was shocked to see a clear view of Mt. Baker over the open waters of Echo Lake.

Since then I have received multiple photos of Mt. Baker over Puget Sound.

I keep hoping that a reader with a camera has access to the roof of one of those high rise apartment buildings in North City and will send in photos of all our mountains.
