Beaver Lake — Saturday, Jul. 16, 2016

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Hiked this trail for the first time on the 16th of July with my girlfriend, it actually was a last resort hike, we had planned on hiking Lake 22 but the trail head was packed, as was Monte Cristo. We drove the Mtn. Loop Hwy. and pulled into Beaver Lake because the trail head was empty. The hike was fairly level and easy, there were a few spots where you have to be careful not to slip or fall but other than that it turned out to be a very nice hike with some awesome views and beautiful old growth cedars. The only downside to this hike was that the trail was pretty muddy in spots, so boots would have been better than tennis shoes.
