Mount Baker
|
|
|
| |
At 10,778 feet, Mt. Baker is covered year-round in a thick white
blanket of snow. In spring, foliage and flowers appear at the base of
Baker and ice-free streams flow freely again. By summer, alpine
meadows have thrown their own quilt of color over Baker's flanks, and
North Fork Nooksack River runs blue-green with cold run-off waters.
Fall ushers in first frosts and trees turn to brilliant reds and
yellows. Winter snows again envelope the area and provide a new range
of recreational opportunities. There are more than 400 miles of trails
around Mt. Baker, ranging from hour-long hikes to longer overnight
trips. For views of the Cascades, choose from a number of trails that
climb up out of the trees, usually steeply. If you're after vistas
without the work, hike a mile-long loop in Heather Meadow at the end
of Mt. Baker Highway. |

San Juan Islands
|
|
|
| |
Low tide in the San Juan Islands leaves 786 islands dry; few of that
number are named and fewer still inhabited. San Juan Island, Orcas
Island, and Lopez Island have the largest year-round populations and
can be reached by ferry. Whales spouting offshore, orca-sightings and
beautiful seascapes keep the area flush with visitors during the
summer. The San Juan Islands offer protected inlets, islets and
regular breezes, making the area popular with sailors and sea-kayakers
alike. |

Whidbey Island
|
|
|
| |
Forests drop down to hidden coves, rocky beaches and steep cliffs at
Whidbey Island's edges. Connected to the Washington mainland by a
bridge spanning spectacular Deception Pass, this island is a popular
Puget Sound getaway for visitors up on the ferry from Seattle, or down
by road from the north. Despite the fact that the island is so easily
accessible, Whidbey Island is a worthwhile stop, crowds or no. |
