Yellow Aster Butte by Jennifer S.
My first hike in the North Cascades! So beautiful with amazing mountain views (including Baker and Shuksan), pretty tarns and tons of wildflowers - my favorite combination!! We spied a few marmots too! The trail is in good condition, though very dusty. A lingering patch of snow offered a bit of natural AC - which was great considering our record heat for the day. The flies were bad. Very, very, very bad! The road to the trailhead is in decent shape with a few potholes, no trouble for my Corolla. RT: about 8 miles with 2550' of elevation gain. Hope to see it again in the fall.
