Trip Report

Park Butte — Wednesday, Sep. 3, 2008

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area
Tarn near Park Butte
Dirt road 12 to the trailhead is having culverts installed so there could be some delays on weekdays. The road has some potholes but is in pretty good shape. The trail is partially washed out and rocky during the first mile as it crosses the moraine. The old suspension bridge is washed out but rock hopping across the stream was no problem. It might be a bit more challanging on a hot day in the afternoon when runoff is high. Views from Park Butte are excellent. The meadows/tarns to the east of the trail 1/2 mile before the fire lookout are worth exploring. Lots of photo opportunities here. No bugs and no snow. Enjoy.
