Westside weather concerns forced us east of Lake Chelan. 45 miles and 2 hours N of Chelan on road 82 we reached Summer Blossom trailhead. This little used trail begins in forest but soon its all views. We camped night 1 at east fork Prince Creek, very green with great sunsets. Day 2 we hiked up Angel Staircase to over 8000'. From there the trail contours the shoulder overlooking Cooney Lake. We then dropped to Merchants Basin and on to Sunrise Lake where we spent night 2. Day 3 we took a shortcut over the pass S of the lake to rejoin the Summer Blossom trail saving 5 miles back to the car. Total trip about 20 miles and 4000'.
