Sulphur Mountain — Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Took a quick run up Sulphur Mountain, in reality more like a slow slog. Trail starts up and keeps going that way for most of the journey. At about .25 miles there's a small creek but it is not yielding much water now so bring at least 3 liters with you. The trail is in good condition, there are a dozen or so downed trees, most walk or climb over and two with detours, one near the start the other up about 3 miles.

This is a forest hike with little to see as far as views until you break out at the top. You're then rewarded with peaks in all directions. Except for Dakobed aka Glacier Peak. For this view you'll need to climb the narrow path on the right, a few minutes more. And there she is! Looking down and north sits the beautiful blue Sulphur Lake. There is a side trail leading down to the lake.
