In the Open — The National Forests of Washington 



Forest Service trails lead deep into the heart of the woods and mountains— Thunder Mountain and Pyramid Peak 



large fish hatchery located beside the lake. The photographer may find plenty 

 here to try his skill — ]\Iount Baker and its reflections in the clear waters, the shifting 

 shadows of massive ]\Iount Shuksan, and the picturesque Old Baldy standing 

 near by. 



Five miles above Baker Lake, on the eastern slope of ]\Iount Baker, are Baker 

 Hot Springs, where the water bubbles from the ground at a temperature of iio° F. 

 A small natatorium has been constructed here and an open camping shelter, which 

 will accomodate half a dozen tourists. A stone fireplace in front reflects heat into 

 the shelter. 



Blount Baker, 10,827 feet high, lies far to the westward and entirely detached 

 from the main Cascade Range. This beautiful mountain, surrounded by mam- 

 moth glaciers which resemble the frozen tentacles of a mighty octopus, and by 

 far-flung ice fields, crashing waterfalls, towering pinnacles, and awe-inspiring 

 vistas, is situated within 30 miles of tidewater and the Pacific Highway. 



Adjacent to the mountain on the north, at an elevation of 7,000 feet, are 

 Skyline Meadows. These may be reached from Bellingham within a half day,
