Crystal Lake — Thursday, Jun. 13, 2024

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Snow to TH finally melted out. Road decent shape, though seems a little worse off after the heavy rains we had recently, causing some erosion in some areas that need minor maneuvering. 

Thank you to whoever cut out the big tangle of trees last summer/fall. There’s a handful of new trees that have fallen across the trail but super easy to get around or over. Otherwise snow doesn’t start until you get to the lake, which is still pretty much covered, and the short but sketchy slide area is still…sketchy. No flowers noted on trail but I did walk about 10 miles today on the road, and there were lots of flowers blooming on the way up. 

Did you find this trip report helpful?

Did you walk from the washout on 23 or were you able to go over Rat Trap Pass 27?
