Vesper Peak — Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2011

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Good conditions and fresh snow made this super enjoyable. The "big" river crossing early in the hike is easily navigated this time of year. Snow is solid from the beginning of the hike up to Headlee Pass. The trail is easily followed to the lake. From the lake follow shelves up and left of the lake. Much of the upper hike to Vesper is on remnant snow from last year. The fresh snow on top makes for a moderately good base. Winter is coming!
