New Trails coming to Sun Mountain

New Trails are coming thanks for the effort of  folks at the Methow Chapter of The Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance and  forest service.  For more info.  You can volunteer to help check out the Chapter's website for trail work party dates.    

Amazing Morning Sky: Mount Baker in the Background

I just thought I should share this Sunrise shot from my house on Sehome Hill (Bellingham).   The sun  is coming up over the Cascades and a number of different clouds.   There are two unusual ones near our local volcano, Mount Baker. Moisture from snow (which came down in a storm the day before) on Mount Baker (10,781 feet high) was wicked away with the cold- still night air.  It formed a lenticular cloud over the summit.  Moisture from a hydrothermal vent in Sherman crater it created the billowing cloud to the right of the summit.
