I overheard 2 fathers at breakfast this morning, one lamenting to the other that he could only secure a camping permit for Monogram Lake. Not sure where he wanted to go, but with the hike I did today, Monogram Lake is the best place to camp in the North Cascades.

Where the lake trail starts to drop to the lake, go L up the ridge. Intermittent path, stays mostly on the crest, rocky, bring gloves. Once on top of the ridge it flattens, views in all directions. Walk out to glacier with small lake below. Probably 12 miles total, 5000', 5 hours up, 3.5 down. Back in time for dinner at Glacier Peak Resort, complete with homemade blackberry pie and ice cream. That's what I call camping!
