Glacier Basin — Sunday, Jul. 10, 2011

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Glacier Falls
This trail begins East of the Town Site and railroad yard where the cabins are. There were a couple trees across the trail in different locations and are passable. The trail to the falls is clear of snow. Nice view of the valley from the falls. Beyond the falls the trail climbs steeply and the rocks are wet, muddy, and slippery and covered with branches from storms. There is a slide area at 3,217’ and has maybe 3’ wide of trail left to travel on. The snow starts at 3,997’ and the avalanche zone is at 4,035’ which is covered with debris from the avalanche. Even though the trail is snow covered, it seems to be a thin snow bridge.
