Heliotrope Ridge — Saturday, May. 8, 2021

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

Due to snow still on the road, it is about a one mile hike to the trailhead.  The trail to the ridge is snow covered and slippery.  The creek crossings are challenging.  Camped @ Hogback in deep snow with stunning views of Mount Baker.  Climbed to the summit and all the way back to the parking area in 15 hours.  Crampons/ice axe mandatory.  Enjoy!
