Ashland Lakes — Saturday, Nov. 28, 2020

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

The road to the trailhead is crazy with giant pot holes. I would not suggest anyone with a Seda or low clearance vehicle to try the road. The last bit of the road has snow, it was the first time I put my jeep in 4wd!

The trail its self is fine until you get to the boardwalks. They're narrow and now covered in slushy snow. We were able to get to Upper Ashland Lake but couldn't get past the portapotty. The boardwalks after this spot were under water, at least as far as I could see.

Most of the trail was wet, muddy and rooty. It was beautiful nonetheless, just be careful. I don't suggest bringing little ones on this hike until the snow melts.
