More Mount Baker History
While Mount Baker was originally discovered by Native Americans, a Spanish explorer "officially" discovered Mount Baker in 1790, while exploring the newly discovered Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The first recorded successful accent of Mount Baker occurred by, veteran alps mountaineer, Edmund Thomas Coleman in 1868. His initial attempt was in 1868 via the Skagit River, but he was denied access by a Native American Tribe. During Coleman's 2nd and successful attempt, he approached Mount Baker from the Nooksack River side.

Hi Ryan! ;) This is a terrific lens -- can you try an experiment for me please? Run the health checker on your 5***** lens and see what it tells you about your title and tags. I am taking issue with the health checker on some of my lenses as I disagree with its findings and it's usually about the title and tags -- too long/too many. ;) xoxoxo hugs yada yada ...
