Wild Goose — Friday, Nov. 1, 2002

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

Surprisingly, this was a very pleasant day at Heather meadows. A little snow on the road in a few places going up to artist point. The wide paved trail (road) made for a nice walk as you did not need to look at your feet much. The wild goose trail had a thin layer of snow that made for slippery going coming back down. Temperatures in the mid 50's with hardly any wind and in the sunshine a coat was not needed. Fall colors pretty much gone except the south-facing slopes to the north were still orange and red.
