Mount Baker Club members embraced their
2nd opportunity to hike above Canyon
Lake, through Old Growth Forest, for a
possible view of the peaks of the Twin
Sisters. The Gate was open, and we
were on the trail at about 9:45 in the
morning. New hikers to the club
included Debbie, Cheryl, Pat, and
Bob. Bill, Alta, and Debbie lead
the way on, as they were the
quickest. |

and Cheryl enjoying the view and the
lunch. The trail lead through some
Old Growth forest that was spectacularly
green with tree and fern. |

Sally, and Marjan laughing and eating.
The weather was clear and a little
overcast till we reached the
crest. The sun then opened the
clouds above us, but kept the Twin
Sisters enshrouded in fog. |

in her own thoughts. We were able to
also find moments like this, and simply
taking in the surroundings. |

Mel,
after lunch, and just taking it in.
Everyone seemed to have a grand time,
exploring side trails and yet aware of
each other's presence. |

Frank
taking in the moment. Always forging
ahead, Frank provided the eyes of the
group. |
 |
Our
reward, for only a few minutes, was a
peek of the North and South Twin Sisters. |
