Mount Baker is a glaciated mountain near the Canadian border in the US state of Washington. Its summit elevation is 10,781 feet (3286 m).
It is one of the volcanic peaks in the Cascade range, but has not had a major eruption since some activity in the 1860's. There are fumaroles emitting sulfur compounds, and occasional rockfalls and avalanches. The distinguishing features of the mountain are more than a half dozen very large glaciers that have formed down its slopes. These form because of the exceptionally high snowfall on the peak, averaging over 640 inches (16 m) per year. The nearby Mount Baker Ski Area had a world-record total of 1140 inches (29 m) of snow during the winter of 1998-1999. Ski trails give access to the summit area of Mount Baker and its associated peaks.
