  • Elevation 10,778 feet
  • In 1975 Mt. Baker gave local residents a scare with increased steam activity and a few mudflows down its eastern flank. Baker has remained on a "high simmer" ever since. I have seen Baker's activity for myself when I climbed it in July 2006. Sherman Crater (just below Baker's true summit, between Grant and Sherman Peaks) ranks second to St. Helens as the most active volcano crater in the Cascades. This mountain is ALIVE, people.
