Roughly cleared trail
A week long WTA work party just completed weed whacking this heavily overgrown trail and cleared some drainages. The first 2.5 miles is roughly cleared and drained but the tread is still cluttered with stubble. We did not get to the remaining 1.5 miles. The trail runs largely exposed along the SW slope of Glory Mountain. Altitude gain is minimal. Nice cool bathing pool about 40 yards to the left of the bridge just before the trail starts.

To get there, get wheeled transportation from Stehekin to High Bridge and hike 6 miles in to the trailhead. The trail goes to a basin with glaciers in the background if you bushwhack your way to the end.
