Park Butte — Friday, Aug. 8, 1997

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

Hiked from Schreiber's Meadow parking lot (crowded with about 30-40 cars) to Park Butte fire tower for some great views of Mt Baker, Mt Rainier, and the San Juans. The trails are clear with minimal patchy snow above 5000'. A little taste of everything (meadows, glacier melts, lakes, steep grades, etc) makes battling the crowd worth it. Enjoy!
