Hyas Lake, Nosh Nosh Wahtum & Cathedral Rock — Monday, Jul. 15, 2019

We got to the Tucquala Meadows TH at 7:08a. The drive out the 10 mile road took an hour. Some years they grate the road not in 2019. The Scatter Creek water crossing was doable in my Outback. The TH parking lot was already pretty full. The 3 pit toilets have not been in use since last year. It seems that they can’t get a septic truck pass the boulder creek bridge. Weather was perfect and no rain. We hiked up to Squaw Lake and found that there is a toilet just before the lake. We headed up to Cathedral Rock and found that they have placed the sign for the turn where you can see it. We headed down to 3 miles to the water crossing and found if you follow the cairns that the water was only mid calf deep. After Deception Pass heading down to Hyas Lake we ran into at least 40 backpackers heading to Tuck and Robyn Lakes. I have never seen that many people on that trail! Another beautiful day in the PNW! It’s a great 15 mile loop!
