Why You Should Go Now
  • Ripe berries
Be Aware Of
  • Water on trail
Berries - you bet, lots of huckleberries.
Wildflowers - very few left.
Weather - fluctuated between Cascade mist and thundershowers.
Trail Condition - very rooty, other than the roots, reminded me of Heather Lake near Lake Wenatchee and Lake Snoqualmie ridge trails.
Bugs - some pesky bees, no mosquitos.
Visibility - foggy and more fog.
Fall Colors - no, it's still very green up there.

Was planning to "summit" Alta Mt, but my new boots were giving me blisters, so I turned around at Rachel Lake.
