Aug 10, 2008: Deception Pass loop (counter-clockwise)
Early 5:15am start from the Hyas Lake trailhead. Up at Deception Pass by 7:15am. Brushy (wet) traverse to Cathedral Pass, with nice views of Hyas Lake(s), flitting in and out of intermittent sunshine. Smooth descent down to the trailhead; lots of people on the trail after Cathedral Rock.
