Review:
On a clear day, which happens more rarely than one might think, residents of the city of Seattle can see Mount Baker from the downtown area. This active but glaciated volcano is the third tallest peak in Washington, with 10,778 feet of elevation at its summit, record amounts of snowfall each year, and over 24,000 acres of glaciers. This constant ice presence means that Baker is home to some nasty crevasses, which can prove to be dangerous, but in spite of this, Mount Baker is actually a very nice peak for beginners to climb.
