landscape photography of trees and mountains

Entering Mt. Baker for the first time - it was like entering a theme park with incredibly gorgeous scenery at every turn - starting with arriving at Picutre Lake at the foot of the mountains. Working my way to the top - I was greeted with 20- foot walls of snow still in place during the last week of July! Taking in the huge walls of snow, 70 degree sunny weather and girls in bikinis skiing down the face of the mountain - I realized I’d witnessed one of the most beautiful places in all of Washington State. Only in the Pacific Northwest.
