Driving Directions: The following mile chart is written for visitors driving east on the highway from Bellingham to Mount Baker. The first mile begins at Interstate 5, Exit 255 and the last -- Mile 58 -- ends at Artist Point.
Mount Baker-海拔3285公尺,是一座冰雪覆盖的火山,终年积雪,即使盛夏时节,山顶也仍是白雪皑皑。所以根据当地原住民的语言,“Mt. Baker”就是“白色陡峭的山峰”之意。它又是一座冰河密集分布的火山,它的地形生态是北美大陆架板块上无数火山爆发及随后形成的火山岩、火山灰及泥石流千百来共同作用打造成的,在冰河切割下,形成了巍峨的山峰、倒影如画的山间湖泊、繁花点缀的高山草甸,这得天独厚的美丽景色历年吸引了众多的旅游者。
