Rising above the northwestern part of the Cascades is the magnificent bulk of Mount Baker - "Koma Kulshan" ("the steep white mountain" to the early Nooksack Indians). Long a focal point of human interest, this slumbering volcano has been seen in many different lights--as a sacred object, a great challenge, a stimulus for creativity, a playground. Yet, despite all human actions and aspirations over the years, the mountain retains its majesty, power and mystery. This is the story of man and Mount Baker, complete with engaging first hand tales and a wealth of rare photos.

John C. Miles taught for over four decades at Huxley College of the Environment (now titled The College of the Environment at Western Washington University), for over four decades. He has worked on conservation issues, mostly in the Pacific Northwest, since the late 1960s, especially park and wilderness issues in the North Cascades. Author and/or editor of seven books, he has served on the boards of many environmental education and conservation organizations, the NPCA, The Rewilding Institute, and North Cascades Institute among them, and for a decade he was the General Public Member of the Washington Forest Practices Board which is charged with regulating the private timber industry in that state. In retirement, he lives near Taos in northern New Mexico with his wife and colleague, Susan Morgan.
