The 10,778’ white cone on the Washington skyline is a recent volcano.  The name honours Lieut. Baker who first sighted it with Capt. Vancouver in 1792.  In 1868 E. T. Coleman recorded the first ascent.  Eruptions, occurring as late as 1881, left fissures from which sulphur fumes still rise.  Once a mysterious, remote peak, its slopes now host skiers of the northwest.
