Thunder Knob — Saturday, Jul. 3, 2010

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Lookout along the trail
I chose this hike for an afternoon with my in-laws. They weren't sure about their hiking abilities and this proved to be a good trail choice. The trail was smooth with few branches or roots. The incline was pretty consistent and never too steep. The views at the top were a good payoff even though it was a cloudy day. It was a good confidence-building hike that will hopefully lead to more hikes with them. The hike description indicates this could be a wheelchair accessible trail, but I think you'd have a rough time getting a wheelchair up this trail.
