Squire Creek — Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Squire Creek by JAB7

Most vehicles can make the trailhead past the “closed” sign. Just need a bit of clearance. I have a GMC Acadia and what was the worst part is all the branches that dragged alongside my vehicle since this road isn’t used very often. The first 3 miles in you hike close to the creek with not too much elevation and lots of creek crossings. When you get to the boulder field there are carins On the other side just below and a pink ribbon the show the way. Then you start climbing and the trail becomes an adventure. Since this trail isn’t used often lots of rocks, roots, climbing, fallen trees to get past; which made this hike an adventure. After climbing a bit we found an opening to see 3 fingers and had lunch. We needed to turn around but the trail kept climbing so I bet the views continued. Didn’t see another soul all day on a Saturday. 9 miles 2200 elevation.
