Mount Pilchuck — Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Mount Pilchuck by Elenanator

This is a challenging and busy trail but so worth the rewards. Wildflowers were blooming, there was an abundance of blueberries, the pikas were adorable, and the views were humbling. The 360 views from the lookout being the ultimate reward. I suggest bringing plenty of water (for you and your dogs!) and a pair of good shoes to help traverse the rocks and boulders. I'm still recovering from a trail running injury so trekking poles also helped. Plan for at least four hours of hiking and full sun if hitting the trail in the afternoon. 

Enjoy!
