Sulphur Mountain — Friday, Mar. 31, 2000

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

The Suiattle River Road is in good shape all the way to the road end. There is minimal blow-down on the Sulphur Mountain Trail and no snow until you reach elevation 3100. At elevation 3400 I put on snowshoes.At about elevation 4760 I lost the trail and headed east (more or less straight uphill) to the ridge and continued up the ridge to elevation 5550, and turned around there. Beautiful sunny day with some nice views of Glacier Peak, too. I met only one single hiker on the way down.
