Perfect cool summer day with misty mountains!

Perfect cool summer day with misty mountains!

Yesterday was a perfect day up at Mt. Baker! Often times tourists and visitors ask me what the weather is like around Glacier, and Mt. Baker in the summer time. Usually we have warm summers with temperatures anywhere between the high 70’s to the mid 90’s. On occasion we get a few days of cool weather in the low 70’s accompanied by some clouds. These usually only last a few days. This week has been one of these cooler temperature times. It is such a nice refreshment after the weeks of hot weather in the high 90’s we had a few weeks back. It was perfect for some hiking! The clouds and the misty mountains make things so beautiful in a whole different way.  When the clouds and the mist roll down the awe inspiring mountain peaks it is absolutely breathtaking! There is truly no place quite like this gorgeous area I am so fortunate to call my home!

Canyon Creek Rd. Expected to open mid September 2018

Canyon creek rd. has been closed for a few years cutting off access to a few great local hikes such as the Damifino Lakes home. Crews are beginning work now to fix Canyon creek rd., and it is expected to open sometime mid September 2018. Crews are asking for general public to avoid the area until work is completed.

Below is the info. The highway administration has shared.

The Federal Highway Administration and their contractor (Western Refinery Services) have moved in on the MP 6.70 repair on 31 Road and MP 0.60 repair on 3140 Road. The FHWA and their contractor legally have the road for five weeks meaning that Canyon Creek Road is going to be officially closed to all pedestrian, cycle, equestrian and motorized traffic beyond MP 5.70 gate. With the volume of imported rock and waste material they will be hauling, for safety’s sake, they hope to discourage traffic up from the Mt. Baker Highway”
