Squire Creek Pass via Eight-mile Trail — Tuesday, Jul. 13, 2021

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Great hike! Surprise close up of Three-O’clock Rock and you’re rewarded with spectacular view of Thee-Fingers and surrounding peaks. Our Gaia app gave us a total distance of 6.7 miles. Road wasn’t bad; a few pot holes a a cobblestone section. At 2.6 miles there is a huge Doug Fir that fell over the road leaving about 10 ft of clearance on the high side so you can sneak under it. They’ll need serious equipment to move it out if the way. The trail is in great shape up to 3 O’clock Rock. From there it gets harder due to steepness, roots, and mud. Look forward frogs in the tarns

Thanks for the report. Any snow along the way? Or just mud and roots as you got higher? Sounds like a regular non-lifted 4x4 could sneak under the big tree on the road?
