Mt Baker/ Baker Lake WA


We started vacation by heading up to Mt Baker. We decided to check out the area around Baker Lake. We only saw 1 campground open, near the Damn for Baker Lake. Of course we headed up the hills and looked for a site. We thought we might get a good view if we were across Baker Lake from the Mountain.
We were pleasantly surpised by a great site with a view of both Mt Baker and Baker Lake.


There is a smaller damn Near the main Baker Lake damn, we had a view of the smaller damn.


We drove across the Baker Lake Damn which was a single lane. The road turned into a single lane gravel road with turn outs climbing up the mountains.


It was fun watching the sunset over the mountain.


A bunch of these little birds came by looking for a snack. We disappointed them…


We drove further up the road from our campsite.


There was a better view of Mt Baker and Baker lake. We enjoyed the almost unnatural vibrant teal color of the lake.


Great view of Mt Shuksan up the road.


Saw this hawk close to the shore of Baker Lake.


We found a creek at the headwaters of Baker Lake. The puppies had a blast fetching across the water. It was a warm sunny day!


We camped our last night on the south east side of the mountain.
