Mt Baker Squak Glacier ski/hike August 2010

As the post below precedes Nick, Matt and I decided to hike up to Mt Baker where the snow was surprisingly low, (4100 feet) and hiked all the way up til the fog out @ 6000 feet. The pictures were not the best but it was a fun trip. The temperature was actually the best for hiking, never really got above 55 degrees. Cant really ask for more to ski in August, right?
