Downey Creek — Sunday, Jun. 25, 2017

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

I hiked this trail last weekend with my son and two dogs.  The trail was clear  until after the first campsite.  There we encountered numerous large, downed trees across the trail.  As long as you're agile, you can go around, over or under the trees.  Other than scrambling over the downed trees, the trail was clear.  Numerous creeks cross the trail so be prepared to get your feet wet!  We didn't see anyone else on the trail that day.  The trail was very scenic with views of forestland with an occasional view of Downey Creek.  Once you reach the end of the trail, you are treated to beautiful vista of raging waters coming down the mountain.
