North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

Hiked solo starting just after 7pm and hustling to the top to beat the sunset. I was the only hiker on the trail which surprised me. One mosquito got me but it was so windy it kept the bugs down, which was great. I saw two massive ravens coasting on the wind and scavenging at the top. Several great mountain views before you even get to the end. Definitely worth doing, especially as it wasn't very time consuming: 50 minutes up, 30 minutes down. You walk through part of the Colonial Creek Campground to get to the trailhead, and it has a restroom with running water.
