Ashland Lakes — Wednesday, Jun. 27, 2018

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Nice Hike, road was rather rough getting up but my Highlander didn’t have trouble, drive with caution with small cars. The hike itself was well maintained, with boardwalks and bridges present. Make sure you visit all 3 lakes and pack bug spray (emphasis on bug spray). There are camp sites with firepits at all lakes. Lower Ashland is definitely the prettiest but eating on Beaver Plant lake’s boardwalk was really nice too! Watch for frogs and diving beetles in the shallow water if you’re looking for wildlife. Verdict: great hike, not a definite return but wouldn’t mind doing it again!
