Carne Mountain — Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - East

Tough hike but man was it worth it! Larches are at their peak (a few are still lime yellow) and the weather today was incredible. 

Road to the trailhead is pretty rough in some spots, but very doable with a higher clearance car. I wouldn’t feel comfortable driving it in a sedan.

Arrived at the trailhead 8:30am on a Thursday. Lot was half full (mainly folks parking overnight) and only saw 1 other person on my way up. Had the whole summit to myself. Ran into 20 or so people on my way down. 

Trail is overgrown in some spots, but nothing you can’t easily get around. 

This was the biggest obstacle on the trail

Lovely pictures! How far up the trail did you have to go before seeing the yellow larches?
