North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Wow, every bit the 4,200 ft gain they say it is. I didn't even break through the canopy until 10 minutes from the top. But it was well worth the view once you get there. It took me 3 hours to summit, so 2:50 until I broke through the tree canopy. Very strenuous. That's got to be why I only saw one other group of guys on the trail. But I didn't see them on my way down so they had turned around, not making the summit. The view is good at the top. Nice view of Glacier Peak. The trail is actually in good shape. Not overgrown at all. But there are a lot of trees that have fallen down on the trail.
