Trip: Mt Baker-Heliotrope Area -

 

Date: 11/24/2007

 

Trip Report:

2 nights on the flanks of Mt Baker...who could complain!!!???

 

Snow was pretty wind affected with some areas of 3-5in wind slabs sitting on top of some faceted snow, so watch the steeper angle slopes... Mostly a light wind crust everywhere else.

 

Feel free to check out the pics and a TR:

Approach Notes:

getting up the road the trail head needs either all wheel drive or chains.

 

TONS of blow down on trail about 1/3 mile before cabin site, all together adding about an hour to the approach. Be ready for it!!
