Mt. Baker, also known as Kulshan, stands at 10,781 feet, towering over Northern Washington and the North Cascades. It’s glacial coverage is greater than every other glaciated peak in the Cascade range combined, besides Rainier. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world, setting and breaking snowfall records numerous times. It’s massive glacial landscapes lure aspiring mountaineers to its slopes, proving itself as one of the best first glaciated climbs one can do. The slopes of Kulshan have been held sacred by many indigenous tribes for thousands of years. It’s thermally active crater coats the summit in a sulfuric smell, a reminder of the destructive power harbored within.
