A Mountain Vacation Land 
Between these two peaks lie the Meadows, green with 
heather and native plants, dotted with clumps of moun- 
tain hemlock, enriched in the fall by a riotous medley of 
colors. ‘The Meadows have an area of about 1,000 acres, 
a big outdoor playground, including a number of small 
lakes which are being developed for both summer and 
winter sports. At the foot of Mount Baker, about 3 miles

from the Meadows, nestle the beautiful Chain Lakes, per- 
haps after all the most delightful scenic gem of the entire 
region. The palisades of Table Mountain are reflected in 
their placid depths on one side, while opposite a wooded 
mountain park gently slopes to their tideless shores. 
There are three of these lakes, the largest containing 
about 60 acres.
