One of the snowiest places in the world, Mt Baker is an active glacier-covered stratovolcano also known by its indigenous name, Koma Kulshan. Rising above the North Cascades with its distinctive snow-white flanks, Baker offers a demanding and deeply rewarding glacial climb.
The approach through ancient cedar forest gives way to crevassed ice fields and stunning views across the range to Mt Rainier and the Canadian peaks beyond.
A technically demanding ascent requiring roped glacier travel, but utterly worth every step for the views from the summit crater.
