Salmon Smart Tip - Ride the Baker Bus

Are you as excited as we are to get in on some of that powder action at Mt. Baker this winter?  Do you ever wish you could get a carpool together, or maybe just find a way to get there without having to drive?  Well the Glacier community and Cascade Adventures have come together to make this happen - yeah!!!

The Baker Bus provides reasonably priced transportation to skiers and snowboarders every day from Kendall, Maple Falls, and Glacier to the Mt. Baker Ski Area and from Bellingham to the Mt. Baker Ski Area on weekends and holidays.  Bellinghamsters interested in riding the bus on weekdays can travel by WTA bus to Kendall and meet the Baker Bus there (schedules are coordinated).  

Riding the Baker Bus is a great way to save some money, save yourself the long drive, and help save the environment and our local wild salmon populations. Carpooling on the Baker Bus reduces the amount of cars driving up the Mt. Baker Highway, which reduces carbon emissions into our atmosphere and also helps to lessen the amount of rubber and hazardous metals from entering the Nooksack River Basin.  Each year in the USA nearly 650,000 tons of rubber is worn off of tires and ends up washing off the roads into our rivers and streams, which negatively affects water quality and the health of our salmon.

Happy Winter!
