Heather - Maple Pass Loop — Wednesday, Sep. 15, 1999

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

The trail is finally melting out and is in great shape. One small snow patch still remains at Maple Pass. We did not travel beyond but the trail looked pretty much snowfree for the loop. The mosquitoes are still out at the TH and almost gone elsewhere. When we hiked to Maple Pass, we encountered a trail crew using a little machine to re-grade the trail. They are doing a wonderful job! Could experience some delays when they are blasting during the next week or two.
