During late June I went up Mount Baker with Michal, Harvey, and Graham. We went up the Coleman-Deming route. It's pretty standard so I'll keep this brief with just a couple of thoughts on the subject.
The hike up to the alpine is relatively short and enjoyable. Then we camped on the glacier.

We enjoyed a spectacular sunset at camp.
Then we woke at 12:30am, departing camp at 1:30am to catch sunrise from the summit. Heading up in the firm early-morning snow was more pleasant than afternoon slush would have been.

Overall a very enjoyable trip. A few notes:
-This would definitely be doable as a day-trip. It was however very pleasant to enjoy both sunset and sunrise.
-We roped up for the glacier and that seems like the most prudent thing to do. I saw a couple of skiers unroped.
-There's some more photos on my Instagram @RaberPhoto
