Mt. Baker reclaimed the world record for single season snowfall in 1998-99 95 FEET, taking it from Rainier. Next to Rainier, Baker is the most glaciated peak in the lower 48 states. Easton is the most moderate route on the peak, and it's long with moderate crevasse danger.

Activity Notes

Plan for a Friday hike to camp and Saturday summit.  Depending on how the team is feeling and time back to camp we may choose to camp a second night on the mountain or pack up and return on summit day.?
