Swamp Lake, Fish Lake & Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Section I - White Pass to Snoqualmie Pass — Monday, Jul. 5, 2021

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Avalanche path over the Fish Lake Way Trail

Swamp Lake trail: many blowdown but snowfree to Swamp Lake. Some snow to American lake and on up to the PCT. Campsites melted out at both lakes.

PCT (Swamp lake tr jct to Fish Lake): At least 90% snow free. Snowiest around Crag Lake but one campsite was snowfree.

Fish Lake Way: Many blowdown. Between Rock Creek and Fish Lake a large (D4) avalanche obliterated a 100 yard wide section of trail and ran about 300 yards into mature trees. Took us about half an hour to work through it.

Avalanche lilies everywhere, <3 the Bill Doug!
