Icicle Ridge via Fourth of July Creek — Wednesday, May. 30, 2012

Central Cascades > Leavenworth Area

Kept a lookout for snakes, but didn't see any. Sky was mostly overcast the whole way up and down which provided some relief to me. Crossed over a few blow downs. We also encountered minimal mud from snow melt and some patches of soft snow to traverse, with snow still at the top. The upside, aside from getting in a good quad-killer hike, were the wildflowers! Tons of them, and so pretty!
