Day hike
First time hiking up to Park Butte and loved it! Although it was very crowded all up and down the trail (there were probably +100 cars at the parking lot), the scenery was priceless. On a gorgeous day like today, Mount Baker was out in all its glory. The trail is currently practically snow-free. There were quite a few areas that still had wildflowers in bloom and the berries are ripe. Trail was in great shape--probably the best groomed and maintained trail I've been on all summer. The only downfall was the bugs at the lower elevations, but aside from that that the conditions up there were perfect. If you haven't come up here yet, now is the time to come before the winter season sets in. Would love to come again before then for an overnight.
