Marmot Pass - Upper Big Quilcene

Beautiful sunny day when much of the rest of Washington was in clouds. Trail is in great shape. There is a single tree across the trail before Camp Mystery and some minor snow after Camp Mystery that requires no special traction nor difficult route finding. The wildflowers are in full glory and spectacular right now. The distant peaks seen from the pass and viewpoints above the pass are still beautifully and heavily snow covered. The way path to Buckhorn Peak is clear. The short way path up to the left from the pass to the beautiful meadow viewpoint has some snow to work around and some exposure if you stay lower on the snow.
