Spider Meadow and Phelps Basin — Wednesday, Jul. 3, 2024

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - East

The road to the TH is no joke. High clearance and good driving skills recommended. The trail is free of snow except for a tiny patch or two before the meadow. The stream crossings are all at acceptable levels and relatively easy to navigate with poles and waterproof boots. Leroy Creek was the hardest water crossing and required some special maneuvers, but you can do it with determination. Spider Meadow is an awesome place and doesn't feel real when you're walking through it. If you can make the trek, I highly recommend it. The bugs were not too bad and certain wildflowers are blooming. There's no privy at the TH but you can stop at one of the little campgrounds on the way there. Check out my YouTube video for current conditions and the beauty that's in store for you should you attempt this hike. Please leave no trace. Happy Trails!
