Started at Deception Creek TH, up to Deception Lakes, PCT to Surprise Lake, down Surprise creek to TH, walked down hwy 2 back to car, around 19 miles and 4000ft. Didn't see a soul. Trail is in great shape all the way, just a few blowdowns. Still has some snow hiding the PCT on the north slope of surprise mountain.
Did you find this trip report helpful?

Bike?

Interesting loop.
How about parking at Surprise Creek and biking to Deception? I've got a $5 yard-sale mountain bike that's great for stuff like this.

Bike?

It took us maybe 40 minutes to walk the highway back to our car. It's all down hill so a bike would have been great ...
