Eyes on Little White Foot

Mt. Shuksan peaks through the clouds and snow drifts at Huntoon Point near the Mt. Baker Ski Area. The name Shuksan translates to, "Little White Foot" in the Lummi language.

Table Mountain

The view of Table Mountain from Artist Point. This is the view from near the parking lot, which is under several feet of snow here. Mt. Baker Ski Area is just down the road.

Ice on the Little White Foot

The Lummi word for Mt. Shuksan also means Little White Foot. If you use your imagination, you can see a heel poking up and the leg up to the calf. I believe that is a size 9 thousand. This was taken from the sledding hill with a point-and-shoot camera.

Where We Go

Cutthroat Peak

Cutthroat Peak and Pass. I believe the name comes from the type of fish found in Cutthroat Lake on the other side of this peak. This was taken from Blue Lake, which contains fish, but not blue fish.

Baker's Blue Hour

Mt. Baker just after sunset. Here is another view from my commute home.
