Heather - Maple Pass Loop — Saturday, Sep. 24, 2022

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

First timers on this loop and we decided on clockwise and we were very happy with our choice. 

We arrived around 7 and there was a decent amount of parking available which is always a total bonus.  

About 1 mi. In we encountered a bee's nest in a log across the trail,  so be mindful of that. 

Weather was absolutely perfect  and the views the entire way were extraordinary. 

I kept saying,  there's no words to describe the beauty of this hike.. so really it's a "you just got to see it."

There were plenty of happy hikers,  but it never felt busy or rushed.  

Colors are starting to pop!

10/10 recommended.
