Heather - Maple Pass Loop — Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

First time on this trail. We hiked it counter clockwise. Wildflowers were glorious. Trail conditions were good. It was clear and sunny so views were fantastic. Based on previous weeks report we came armed with bug spray but bugs were not a problem. We got out on the trail at 9:15. Parking lot was about 1/3 full. Back at the car at 1:15 and lot was overflowing. Water at the parking lot was not working.
