Thunder Knob — Saturday, Jun. 7, 2025

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

We had some friends that have been wanting to go hike up in the mountains but wanted something easy to get to, easy to hike, kid friendly and with views. Thunder knob checks all those boxes.

Trail: bridge is in over colonial creek and that was the coolest part of the hike. The rest of the hike was hot, dry and dusty. Views are worth it. Some flowers blooming here and there but this isn’t a spectacular place to view flowers. We saw a mama duck and her babies at the pond near the top.

After we went swimming down in the lake and it felt amazing!
