Baby Blue is a 2-point summit located near Sultan, WA. Other summits have taken priority the last 2 years, but this summit was a great surprise due to views at summit and along the last ~1 mile of road hike. Parking is located along Sultan Basin Road, and it was ~12 minute drive after turning from Hwy 2. To get there, I followed Google maps to 47.9222, -121.7486. A Discover Pass is required.
For hiking information, this is a 5.5 mile round-trip road hike with ~1,365 gain. Thank you to Josh WU7H for posting tracks which made things much easier! The road hike starts out with more shade, and then you start to get views ~1 mile into the hike. Cell service was spotty on the road hike, but fine on summit with AT&T.
The summit area (and surrounding area) has been partially logged, and there were amazing views from the summit. For HF, I was able to strap my mast to a small tree...and there was enough room to try a new Sotabeams 4-band linked dipole. Line of sight is great especially for North Sound VHF/UHF contacts.
While a classic road hike, overall recommend this summit due to the views.
