Hike #5
Ptarmigan Ridge Trail - Mount Baker - Mile 487 - Aug 18th, 2019
Six brave souls challenged the weather conditions with a hike along Ptarmigan Ridge at the base of Mount Baker yesterday. We hike up to a steep snow crossing which remained icy at noon, so we returned from there. Although the mountain peaks were hidden in clouds, the terrain was alive with colorful wildflowers, blueberries and the occasional pika. We need to do this hike again a little later in the season and on a clear day!
