Baker Lookout (BC, Kootenays)

- Before all the comms equipment was installed on Mt. Baker (Cranbrook, BC), there was only one structure on top of the mountain. It was one of BC's many fire lookout towers. Nowadays the tower is abandoned and even deemed unsafe. It was worth strapping skis on to check it out in the middle of winter.

We use to mountain bike up Baker back in the 90's. Loads of trails up behind the college. Lots of fun 4x4ing up Baker too. Awesome that you were up there recently. Thanks.
Your doing great thanks for taking us along!
My wife and I drove up there in 2023 summer, I had fun at the wheel of our RAV 4, her in the passenger seat not so much. Took loads of photos and what a view! I'm too old now to hike it, probably a two dayer for me if I was to walk up the service "road" which is just a wide trail, it was great fun and we are both glad we've been there.
Quite an adventure! I really hope this will be taken care of and fixed up. These places are a neat part of our history. We went to Goat Peak Fire Lookout outside of Beaverdell this fall. Was well maintained. Keep up the great work!
Goat Peak is such a gem!
Oh, so that's why your "skis" looked so weird. Anyway cool trip. Thanks for bringing us along.
split board
It looked pretty awesome up there!
It would be nice if they're able to fix that lookout up and keep it around for many more years for people to visit.
Hopefully a local club will adopt and look after that one. Thanks again for another great video!
That is such a shame to see it in that condition. My dad used to man that lookout and it wasn't that long ago. I'm glad I got to see it when it was still functioning and in good shape.
I was up working on one of my comms sites this summer. It's a great view. Wanted to go up the tower but was deterred by the "no entry" signs.
Nice trip again thanks
Greetings from the Philippines Funny, I lived in Cranbrook for almost 20 years and drove my quad all over the place but I have never seen that side of Mt. baker.
One for the adventure list on your next visit!
@ nope, I’m not going back🙂
I've ridden my motorcycle up this mountain many times long ago.
Great video thank you 👍were you bleeding a bit there ?
I pulled back a tree branch and then it spung back straight into my face. Had prouder moments...
@LifeIsAdventureChannel - Wondered maybe a little grind to save the camera over your own skin LOL !
ow safe is that with the microwave receivers right there? some concentrated signals so close.
lol no doubt its deemed an unsafe structure due to those microwave backhauls being so close. anyone in that structure would be exposing themselves to microwaves that exceed the saturation density limits, breaking the law.
So, turning it into an off grid cabin isn’t a good idea?! Darn it. 😮
I’m sorry you fell and hurt yourself. You made out better than me. On my first ski trip, to a shabby “ski resort” in the East, I shoveled my ski under a clump of ice, my right ski twisted and I got a boot line fracture of both bone. My leg twisted like a wet towel when the ski didn’t release. Ouch! The break was life threatening so the damage to my left knee went completely unnoticed for weeks. It’s been almost 30 years and I have lingering issues but I wouldn’t trade the experience of snow skiing for anything.
I was told never to ski again by multiple orthopedic surgeons because my bones are too small, too fragile, don’t heal normally and the old break, ligament and tendon damage put me at higher risk. After a couple of years, I decided to go to a “real” ski resort in Colorado, took lessons from a professional ski instructor and then spent a glorious week skiing. I retired from it content to follow the doctors’ advice! 😊
Thanks for an interesting video!
Happy to hear you got that glorious week!
