Looks pretty smokey you up around Mt Baker ?
How about... I could see Baker? :chuckle: It was quite hazy and smokey which was kind of a bummer because it was gorgeous otherwise. Would have had spectacular views if not for the haze.

This past hot weekend I was also in that general vicinity. On two separate occasions (across a five day period) we watched a boar follow a sow on a large snowfield. He was right on her tail the whole time. The "fought," rolled in the snow, ran around. They never left the snow (to be fair, it was 100+F). It was great to watch them. Too bad they live in a no hunt zone. :chuckle:

We spent a fair amount of time on snow during that hike and I found no sign of bears frequenting it, which surprised me. I figured I'd find at least a little bit of snow sign.

What kind of berries are you seeing? Seems early for huckleberry and blueberry. The little strawberries might be on though.:yeah: the little strawberries were great about 3 weeks ago around 3,000 ft, man those are good!

No ripe berries, just lots of berries growing. The blueberries that have been out of snow the longest still appear to be a month out from ripening. Lots of blue berry bushes up there are still under snow or just flowering. There were some ripe or close to ripe salmon berries down at lower elevation near the trailhead though.

Awesome country! Did you notice what the bears were doing in the open? Was there any food source?
They are definitely chowing. Not sure on what. Lots of forbes and grass for them to eat up there right now. Scat definitely composed of course organic matter.
