This is hands down our favorite early season North Cascades hike. The flowers are incredible right now—make sure you have the Seek app on your phone! The last 1/2 mile of the road is pot holey but small cars made it, and some parked down the road 1/8 mile. Some snow at the top but easy to cross as is not on a slope. The switchbacks are suffering from a lot of erosion from switchback cutters, and the trail is getting narrower each year, so PLEASE stay on the trail. Bring TP for the outhouse, which is not maintained. Plenty of parking at 9 am on a Friday.
