Mt. Baker - South East View
September 12th
It was a great day for a ride, and being sunny, Mt. Baker was
the destination, since my previous visits to the area were
overcast, to a greater or lesser extent.
Baker Lake Road
Leaving SR 20 a little west of Concrete, Baker Lake Road heads
up towards Baker Lake, formed behind a hydro-electric dam.
Where Baker Lake Road crosses Boulder Creek on a curved bridge,
a wonderful view of Mt. Baker from the south east opens up.

State Route 542
The only other approach to Mt. Baker is via SR 542, which
starts in Bellingham and heads east, eventually ending at
the ski area on Mt. Baker itself, roughly north east of the peak.
