Drone view of Mt. Baker from above my house 1/4/22

My partner Jeff got this shot of me taking a rest on a ski descent of the Colman Glacier route on Mt. Baker many years ago. We were headed right, not down through that crevasse area below us!

A few shots from a ski ascent of Mt. Baker a few years ago. We don't have any snow at our ski areas yet, but I'm getting psyched (just ordered a new set of Back-country gear). Climbing into a white-out, but the weather prediction is good. Above the clouds. Climbers nearing the summit on...

Some B&W from Artist Point in WA Cascade mountains near Mt. Baker. These were all shot with a Sony A7rII, most with the Sony 100-400mm at 400. I've posted more shots with a comparison of the four cameras I used over in Travelogue. Mt. Baker from Chain Lakes trail, iPhone 3 shots pano stitched...

Artist Point is one of the best photo and easy hiking destinations in Washington's Cascades. Follow directions for the Mt. Baker ski area (which is misnamed because it sits on the lower slopes of Mt. Shuksan and you can only see Mt. Baker at a distance from the top of the chair lifts). Continue...

A side view into the crater (on the left) of Mt. Baker while on a ski descent. Glacier Peak in the distance.

My friend John and I did our annual climb-ski on Mt. Baker yesterday. We had the Squak glacier to ourselves, but saw a few others on top who came up other routes. Neither of us were in great shape, so it took longer than usual - 12 hours car-car. I was too tired to shoot many pictures, and...

I drove to a new location to fly my drone and catch the sunset over Lake Stevens last night. This pano includes the Olympics which are directly west, and Mt. Baker (dimly visible on the far right) to the north. Lk-Stevens-Sunset-5.26.19250-Pano by Jim Dockery posted May 27, 2019 at 2:40 PM

Another hike up my closest little peak just before the first rains of the fall season started. I was mainly there to try out my new drone, but was glad I brought my Sony A7rII with 24-104mm also for these earthbound shots. Mt. Baker Mt. Baker II Glacier Pk. Three Fingers Looking east...

I was disappointed to have fire haze obscuring the peaks last night after carrying my camera, tripod, and three lenses up a hot 3000+ ft. elevation gain trail, fighting biting flies the whole way. This is a 3 shot pano looking north to Mt. Baker that I managed to process with a lot of work.

I went back up to the Skagit Valley for the second day in a row hoping to catch a nice sunset on the mountains. It wasn't spectacular, but quite nice. I especially like viewing this side of the mountain which is one of my favorite ski runs in the state which I do at least once a year...

My wife and I were up around the Mt. Baker ski area doing short easy hikes for a couple days just before they closed the Artist Point road. Views rivaling any in the national parks without the fees and regulations. Mt. Shuksan from Artist Point Mt. Baker from Chain Lakes trail
