Mountain View Monday #8

Across Diamond Lake from the main campground lies a volcano with a rounded top. Due to its gentle slope, compared to other Cascade stratovolcanoes, Mount Bailey is often traveled on in winter. Those who go to snowshoe, ski, or drive a snowmobile over its slopes, usually end up camping at the Diamond Lake resort.
Mount Baily is under 9,000 feet high and was a spiritual place for Native Americans, who were first credited with ascending the mountain. Even today, people still come to hike the mountain in summer.
