A Walk Through Geologic Time from Mt. Baker to Bellingham Bay 2nd edition Kindle Edition

The North Cascades near Mt. Baker and adjacent lowland display a broad spectrum of scenic geologic features. Glacier clad peaks rise thousands of feet above steep timbered ridges. Ancient crystalline rocks that originated deep within the Earth's crust have been uplifted so recently that intense glacial and stream erosion has exposed them at the surface as snow-covered peaks of great scenic beauty. The adjacent lowland was subject to sculping of the land by giant continental ice sheets that covered the land with more than 6,000 of glacial ice and left deposits that now make up the landforms in the lowland. The book is illustrated with more than 400 photos and illustrations that depict the geologic features making up the landscape. Read more
