Wing Lake — Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Morning Larch Fire

Wow, this location lives up to its hype as a sunrise location.  It was so so as we arrived at dusk but the morning light was amazing.  Easy trail except boulder field which is long, poorly marked and treacherous.  We had easier time seeing bootpath in morning light.  I would not do this in the dark.  The washout crossing is sketchy and someone will likely have a bad day if not careful.  Water at the Lewis lake outlet and up at Wing Lake.  No privy so be prepared (and courteous). Larches will be past peak but waking up under Black Peak with expansive views will still be good.
