Never seen such beauty
  
Recently I had the utmost pleasure of hiking up to the base of Mt Baker. Ptarmigan ridge, to date, is the most beautiful and rewarding hike I have ever done.
It wasn't hard per say, just long at slightly over 19km's in and out. I did just under 30k steps.
If you're a hiker, or just want a good day out, go. It's not difficult. You can cut the route in half and get to the 5 km mark for a pretty epic view as well.
10/10 Highly recommend!
