There was no broken trail past Hyak Lake so we made our own following the blue diamonds. (Pop quiz: When you hear “blue diamonds” do you think Lou Diamond Phillips or Blue Diamond almonds or this dude is crazy?) There was a lot of wind blown snow on the trees so it wasn’t always easy to stay on route.
We stopped just short of Nordic Pass itself at a sketchy creek crossing. We saw no people beyond Hyak Lake.
If you go, start early. The parking was a madhouse when we returned at noon.
