Trip Report

Martin Creek, Eagle Lakes, Cheops & Martin Lakes — Wednesday, Sep. 22, 2021

North Cascades > Methow/Sawtooth

Quick report for a loop I did in the Sawtooths.

Road to Eagle Lakes TH is in good shape. Passable to all vehicles.

Eagle Lakes Trail is in amazing condition  (thank you to work done by the cycle groups).  Running water at Crater Creek and between upper and lower Eagle Lakes. 

Larches are getting good. I'd say this is the ten day window for seeing them turn.  Pictures will tell the story.

Went over Deadhorse Pass, past Boiling Lake and then scrambles the North Ridge of Cheops (mostly class 2 with a couple of class 3 moves). Descended a choss gully to Upper Martin Lakes and then hopped on the Martin Creek Trail.  This trail is in great condition as well but no running water sources after the lake until Crater Creek again.
