East Creek — Saturday, Jul. 1, 2023

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Approaching Mebee Pass.. would be an excellent larch hike were it not for the miles of downed trees before

On this trail flags are your friend: rather easy to discern and well-tread the first few miles and still quite clear towards the Pass, but difficult to navigate at numerous points between. We never would have made it without somebody before us flagging the route.

Are your shins in good shape? Take care or they might not be after this hike -- between the trailhead and the lookout, counted approximately 461 downed trees that had to be leapt over, crawled under, or navigated around. 

Mebee Lookout appears to be in similar shape to previous reports
Ya like trees? We got trees
