Vesper Peak, Headlee Pass and Vesper Lake — Saturday, Aug. 26, 2006

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Although this trail is very steep and rocky, it has been well brushed out. There are only a few small snow patches left near the summit of Vesper (ice axes not needed). Running water is available in the lower portion of the trail, the lake outlet, and snowmelt just below the summit. Great views!
