Vesper Peak — Saturday, Aug. 16, 2014

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

I suggest crampons if you plan on hiking all the way to the peak. Seventy five percent of trail is covered w/ ether rocks or boulders so wear some good hiking boots to protect your feet. Bugs were bearable but bring repellant anyways especially if the forecast calls for a warm day. Water is available in at least 4 points along the trail so no shortage of water for my pooch. Didn't get to see much of all the surrounding mountains because of the fog cover but scenery is still worth the hike.
