Baker dominates the horizon, its glaciated summit gleaming like a beacon against azure skies.

Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest represents millions of years of volcanic activity and glacial sculpting, creating a wonderland of towering peaks crowned with ancient glaciers, verdant valleys carved by patient rivers, and old-growth forests that have witnessed centuries pass.
