We arrived behind schedule to find a parking lot full of cars at 930. We began our hike with temp in the 70s. As we climbed about 1/2 mile in, the flys and heat got extemely annoying almost to the point of turning around. Finally, as we cleared into the meadow in the upper stretch the breeze and the cooler temp kept the flies to just pesky at times. The trail was great, though in my trail guide it said kid friendly, i would not agree. It was tough at times. We made it to the lookout. it was impressive. We heard glasiers breaking off. Awesome views of Mt. Baker. I would do it all over again tomorrow but start early, early.
