Mt. Daniel
An amazing summer trip to the Central Cascades. The road out to Tucquala Meadows Trailhead was bumpy and rough but a number of low clearance passenger cars made the trip. Highly encourage scaling up the mountains to the Southeast of Jade lake and taking in the views from the top where you can see Glacier Mt, Baker and quite possibly Rainier to the south tucked to the side of Mount Daniel.

Were they any trees down across the trail up to Deception Pass and to Marmot Lake?

Multi-Day

Looked like a rad trip, you did 2 nights correct? In your opinion what would stop someone from doing 1 night / days? Thanks!

Correct 2 nights for us. You could do the out and back to Marmot/Jade lake in one day pretty easy, about 20 miles R/T. We did a 30-mile mini-loop along the PCT and a summit of some nearby peaks, instead of straight out and back.
