Church Mt.: 4.2 miles one way. 3500' gain. I didn't reach the summit, because it was in the clouds. Have to come back on a sunny day to see the view from the 6000' peak. Good thing about a weather like today is the comfort: minimal sweat, no sticky sunscreen.
Moderate grade, mostly smooth trail. I started hiking ~1pm. 10 minutes in, one hiker came out with his dog. 1:20 hour later, passed a creek, and then 2 hikers. 10 minutes later, reached the open slope, by now full of dead corn lilies. In front is a meadowy basin. 4800'? Red with blueberry bushes, but not many berries. Wide, protected, creek strewn, very nice. Possible to camp here, even though no established camp site, it's flat enough, as long as you avoid the swampy parts. 
To see Mt Baker, you have to walk to the north edge of the basin. I wondered about, and hiked further up through trees and endless corn lilies to another smaller creek strewn basin. Soon, I was getting into the clouds, couldn't see much. Turned back ~3:15pm. Back in car at 5pm.Left home at 10am, 37 mile (~45 minutes) to Sumas border. Signed 20 minutes delay. Actual wait time 38 minutes. 15 minutes to the junction of 547 & 542. Another 15 to Glacier ranger station, my regular stop before and after a hike. Toilet paper was running out. Church Mt road 5 miles east of the ranger station. Quite rough, but passable. 2.6 miles. Crossing Fossil Creek now is easier than the road itself. 2 cars already parked at the trailhead. An outhouse, 2 garbage cans.
