Heather Lake — Saturday, Apr. 5, 2025

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Heather Lake by geekgirlgrace

Got to the parking lot at 8am and a literal party bus full of people unloaded. Had to quickly get ready and start jogging to beat the crowds. :)

Trail was wet and muddy in parts and the last half mile or so has packed snow on the trail. The snowy part was crunchy and icy at times. Waterproof hiking boots and microspikes for the last half mile recommended. Lots of people were hiking without microspikes so it's doable without - I'd just prefer to not slip and fall.
