Surprise and Glacier Lakes — Monday, Jul. 12, 2010

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

If going east on 2, access to the trailhead is the next road right after the FS sign for the Iron Goat Interp sign on the left. The trail up to the lake could use some brushing in the meadows, but is in overall great shape. The first snow is shortly before the lake, and patchy in places - maybe 20% coverage. Last week's hot weather has really melted out the highcountry. Glacier lake at 4800' has more snow, but is still patchy, but you should be able to find dry ground for a campsite. Spent the night at Surprise Lake, and woke up in a cloud.
