Heather - Maple Pass Loop — Saturday, Jul. 20, 2013

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

The trail is in good shape, lots of snow still at the top. Easy to hike over, poles would be helpful. Lots of flowers blooming, the lupine was just starting to show, the heather is starting to finish blooming. The views of the mountains are beautiful, clear view of the snow capped ones. 360 Degree view from the top. The large black flys were pretty determined from the top all the way down the Rainy Lake side, fiesty things.
