For those of you who fancy something more scenic and less damaging to the knees, Mike and I were planning a hike around the chain lakes trail by Mt Baker: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mbs/recarea/?recid=80181 As long as there's been no recent snowfall, both the trail and the Bagley Lakes trailhead should be accessible. The Rangers have been known to keep Chain Lakes closed until June, so we might have to go along one of the other trails instead. Mike and I are planning to drive up early on Sunday from Seattle, but it is possible to drive from Vancouver as well if you have a car (There's a US$5/car charge at the car park). Regards, James
