Golden Horn - Snowy Lakes — Saturday, Aug. 8, 2020

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

Cutthroat pass to snowy lakes was stunning as always. Brand new trail up to the lakes from an awesome work crew-thank you.

Bugs are just BAD this year. Full clothing and nets kept us ok at the lakes and ridges, skeeters and noseums. Probably 2-3 more weeks and they will finally all die. Temperatures did drop into the 20’s one night despite super hot days-always be prepared!

Did you find this trip report helpful?

Water

It is pretty dry from the base of cutthroat pass until the lakes. There is a trickle here or there.
