Heather Lake — Tuesday, Jul. 22, 2025

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Miles getting ready for Hike-A-Thon

We arrived at the TH around 8:30.   Maybe half a dozen cars in the lot when we started our hike.   The first 3/4 mile or so is now a graveled highway with a few staircases.   Once you past the refined gravel trail, you are back to a natural setting- and for me, a more enjoyable trail.

Lots of Devils Club, Red Elderberry and spider webs along the trail.   Huckleberries and salmonberries ripe for picking around the lake.

Toilet at TH in decent shape, but no TP when we arrived- but it was stocked when we returned.
