Last day of Official Vacation

Today was my last official day of Summer Vacation.  I have gone to school most days in the past two weeks - including a family work day this past Saturday.  Today, instead of going in and doing prep work, I enjoyed my last day of vacation going hiking with a friend.

We stopped to enjoy the view of Mount Baker along the drive.  It was cloudy when we left home, so we were very thankful to have such a clear and beautiful view!

We took a trail called Rainbow Ridge.  After climbing 1000 feet in the first half mile, we got out to some great views.  First was Mount Shuksan.

We got to see many different views of Mount Baker as well.  The clouds came and went, but only at the end did they come in front of the mountain.

As we were leaving some clouds moved in.  This view reminded me of artistic depictions of Mount Sinai, except it is missing the lightning bolts, I thought it was a fun connection.
