Costco to Host Book Signing for Mount Baker Author

BELLINGHAM, Wash. - June 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Mount Baker rises over northern Washington State like a mirage, dominating the landscape like few mountains in the United States. On a clear day, it is visible from as far away as Vancouver, British Columbia, and Tacoma, Washington. This immense volcano is a study in superlatives: it is the third-highest peak in the state, holds the world record for snowfall in a season (95 feet!) and is the second-most heavily glaciated peak in the contiguous United States. The mountain also played a dominant role in the history of the region, having served as a beacon to seafarers and a lure for men in search of gold, timber and adventure.

Images of America: Mount Baker shares the stories and legends of the mountain through a stunning collection or vintage images. The book showcases larger-than-life exploits of the rough and ready explorers and pioneers who braved terra incognita to expand the northern frontier in search of adventure and riches.
