North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

Went out on a WTA weekend work party to help make this trail a little more passable. There's a little mud in the meadow and snow patches right out of the trailhead. Volunteers diverted lots of water off the trail from melting snow and moved several big rocks from the trail. Rocky Creek bridge is there but broken from snow load, be careful crossing the creek. Volunteers worked the trail, cleaning drainage and clearing tread to the first set of crib ladders. Solid snow starts at about the upper junction of the Scott Paul Trail. Lots of climbers and day hikers were out and the snow was melting fast.
