Upper Glacier Creek - January 20, 2010

The 80 % chance of precipitation didn't materialize and we were almost able to drive to the end of FS road 39. So we headed west more or less cross country and climbed an unnamed 5328 ft ridge with great views of Chowder Ridge, Coleman Glacier, and Lincoln Peak. To the west were the San Juans and the Georgia Strait. The top of Baker was shrouded in clouds but that only seemed to add to the magic of the day.
