Whatcom

Whatcom is best known within the United States for Mount Baker, the active, glacier-clad volcano that rises in Washington’s North Cascades. This eastern part of Whatcom County lies amid the forested mountain country around the upper Nooksack River, where snowmelt and heavy Pacific weather shape the valleys. Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest protects much of the surrounding backcountry, while the small community of Glacier serves as a base for travel along the Mount Baker Highway. The Nooksack Indian Tribe has enduring ties to this watershed and its lands. Browse other webcams across Whatcom County to place this mountain setting in a wider geographic context.
