Mount Washington from Oak Bay Marina

It was a beautiful sunny day on B.C. Day (August 1) and it was an easy decision to go to Oak Bay Marina with mum for a stroll and picnic lunch.  The air was so clear that we got an extraordinary view of Mount Baker in Washington State. Wikepedia tells us that: "At 10,778 feet (3,285 m), it is the third-highest mountain in Washington State and the sixth-highest in the Cascade Range... not counting a subpeak of Mount Rainier." 

Mt Baker is also a volcano with a very active history in the 19th century but less active history in the 20th century.
It has the greatest volume of snow and ice within the Cascade Range volcanoes (with the exception of Rainier).
Its name was given by local Native Americans and means "White Steep Mountain"
