Park Butte — Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

My wife and I hiked to Park Butte Lookout near Mount Baker. After having suffered from many bug bites last week at Glacier View I chose this destination by reading trip reports on WTA.org. We were very pleased, as we did not have any bug bite today. When we arrived at the trailhead at around 10 AM, the parking lot was full and I had to park on the shoulder of the road. Wildflowers were blooming, mostly pink and white mountain heathers, but yellow arnicas, lupines, queen’s cups, Lewis's Monkeyflowers etc. as well. The weather was mostly sunny in the morning and mostly cloudy in the afternoon. The trail was in good condition. We met several WTA volunteers working on trail maintenance. We thanked them as we pass by.
