Baker River, North Cascades

The Baker River drains the west side of the North Cascades range, merging with the Skagit River near Concrete.

There are two dams on the river, creating Baker Lake and Lake Shannon.

The Baker Lake Road extends 25 miles North from Highway 20 ending in a parking area along side Baker River. There are trails along the Baker River and around the lake.

I’ve been visiting Baker River for 20 years, been there in every season and weather condition. Here are a few images!

Wow! what an incredible post, Andy!

You could have come up with a post for each of these images…

I was trying to choose my favorite one from the series and it kept changing as I scrolled down.

When I saw the camping photo with the shooting star, I thought that’s the one, but there were many more worthy contenders…

You are so lucky to visit this stunning landscape regularly and it’s really important to communicate to people, what we are going to miss when natural place like these are lost through human activities.

Thanks again for sharing and have a great weekend 🙂
