North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Seemed like a nice day to check out the work at the lookout on Green. Just enough clouds and sun for great views. Solid snow starts at the lakelets and continues on up the hill. It was soft enough to kick step and to come down the fall line with no problems. The lookout is in fantastic shape. Congrats to all the people who worked on it. Flowers are just really beginning in the meadows, with avalanche lillies on the upper slopes. It turned out to be a critter day as well. Saw a small bear in the forest, four large deer in the meadow, and plenty of marmots up above. All and all a great day except that I didn't have enough sun block on.
