Easy Pass — Friday, Sep. 30, 2011

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Golden Needles
LARCH REPORT: The larches at the pass are just starting to shade into that beautiful elactric yellow. Most are green, a few full yellow. In a week they should start to peak. Nice trail in great shape, no more bugs, and cool weather. This trail gains elevation at a fairly constant rate, making the 2800 foot gain a bit easier. Mine was the only car at the trailhead, which is most unusual for such a good hike.
Looking toward Fisher Peak
A Golden Eagle, I think. Please comment if you agree or else can identify it.
View from the pass. You can easily make your way up this shoulder of Graybeard Peak I think that's it)

Nice photos! Looks like a golden to me, with the distinctive tail, and wing patterns.
