Mineral Creek, Glacier Lake — Thursday, Jul. 15, 2021

Snoqualmie Region > Salmon La Sac/Teanaway

Took an overnight up the Mineral Creek trail to Glacier Lake. Many thanks to the YCC crew for brushing the first section of trail up to the crossing of Mineral Creek.

Beyond, the trail is still brushy through the slide paths with about a quarter mile section where the vine maple and slide alder are beginning to obstruct travel. About 50 trees down across the trail from the Mineral Creek crossing to Park Lakes. Some need to be notched with an axe to make up and over easier.

The boot path to Glacier Lake has some snow and quite a bit of mud and moving water but camps at the lake are melted out. 

<3 the Alpine Lakes Wilderness!
