A spectacular day in the Glacier Peak Wilderness!

The trail is snow-free up to about 5,200 feet. After that, there’s consistent snow until about 200 feet from the summit. I followed the summer route to the basin, then took a more direct line up to the lookout. Snow conditions were solid and great for step-kicking—no traction issues.

Wildflowers line the trail as it leaves the forest and approaches the snowline, creating a nice contrast between spring and lingering winter.

I crossed paths with one other group who had already broken trail, which made the climb to the summit much easier. Thank you!

The views from the top were excellent: snow-covered peaks in every direction. It was hot, but the lookout provided just enough shade to relax and take it all in.
