North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

We decided to stay down low because of the forest fire smoke and to stay cool in the trees. What a pleasure to hike amongst huge trees in a virgin forest. We went to the 6 mile camp. Beware at mile 4, a yellow jacket's nest right on the trail. I got zapped four times! Trail is in great shape. The downed trees across the trail were easy to go over or around.
