Heather - Maple Pass Loop — Thursday, Aug. 8, 2013

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

This is such a beautiful hike. Easy access from Highway 20, and the trail is in great condition. We hiked it counter-clockwise and loved that, but either direction would be spectacular. Just when you think the views can't get any more breaktaking, you come around a corner and your heart just about explodes from the beauty. The wildflowers are still in full force. Biting insects were the only drawback. DEET recommended, as is this hike!
