Winchester Mountain — Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area
Winchester Mountain by seattlegrrlie

A word about the road. Somebody before me did not listed to "high clearance" and left a trail of oil. Minimum 8in ground clearance PLUS there are a few sections where approach angle matters. When you come around the switchback, you drop into deep pits. There is also a washout about halfway up. I used 4High up, 4Low downhill and if you have 4L use it. It made a much cleaner drive

Trail itself was hot, exposed, steep but in very good shape. The lookout is clearly lovingly cared.
