On our way to see the scenic bits of the North Cascades, we made a little stop to hike through the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. This hike was a true treat - offering all the aspects one could wish for in the Pacific Northwest. We had turquoise water, big trees, earthy smells, and spongy ground. My friend Jen (JennyTheTrailhead) and I did about 4 miles.
Highlights: The drive from Washington 20 to the trailhead is insanely beautiful, you get to drive across a dam which feels illegal but is not, and there are magical views at every turn
Things to watch for: Parking may be limited, so follow the rules when you’re there. Slow down, take it in.
Enjoy some photos from our hike north on the trail and back to the car.
