RHH's photos with the keyword: border peaks

This was taken on the way to hiking the Chain lakes trail. I make a quick visit to Artisit's Point , took a few photos from there and then headed back down to Austin Pass and the trail. The tallest peak in the photo is Mount Larrabee and the peaks at the left are the Border Peaks, so called because the Canadian-American border runs between them.

This is another photo from one of our 2014 snowshoeing excursions up to Artist's Point. The view is over the valley up which we had come and over the valley northward to the peaks near the Canadian border (the names of the peaks can be found in the notes).

The peaks in the background at from right to left, Mount Larrabee, Winchester Mountain and (behind the trees), American and Canadian Border Peaks. This is looking north from the snowshoe trail to artist's Point.

Taken from Winchester Mountain, the photo shows the Border Peaks, American Border Peak in front and partially obscured by clouds, and Canadian Border Peak behind. As the names suggest the border between the two countries runs between the peaks.

This was taken on a hike with friends late last summer at Winchester Mountain. Winchester Mountain is one of our favorite hikes in the North Cascades and is near the American and Canadian border. These two peaks, visible from the top of Winchester Mountain actually straddle the border. The peak in the foreground is American Border Peak and the peak in the back is Canadian Border Peak.

Taken at sunrise as I snowshoed up to Artist's Point near Mount Baker. The peaks to the left of the trees are Mount Larrabee and American Border Peak, with the top of Canadian Border Peak just visible at the far left. The photo below was taken in the autumn and shows the same three peaks from a different vantage point (more to the east).
